Bonding Through Family Bike Rides

Finding time to bond with family is getting increasingly difficult these days. With everyone busy on their phones or other electrical equipment, there’s less time left for enjoying together as a family. One great way to get out of the house and do something fun as a family is to take up cycling. A small trip to a park for a picnic or a long tour is great for family bonding. Cycling is not only good for health and fitness but also keeps everyone involved. If you plan to get together and cycle as a family, here are some points to keep in mind:

If you have never taken cycling trips together as a family, plan a trip over a short distance which is easy for every single member. Not all members of the family might have the same strength and stamina for cycling over long distances so begin with a small trip over a short distance on a simple route. Eventually, as you make cycling trips a regular part of your bonding time, you can increase the distance.

Plan the route you want to cycle on in advance. Carry a navigation device with you or a paper map with your route chalked out so you don’t stray and can also avoid traffic (if you are using a navigation device). Look for cycle tracks and plan routes that make maximum use of these.

Prepare for your family trip. When cycling with small children, you’ll need to minimise the time spent indoors before the trip and get out on the scheduled time, which can be quite a challenge. Make sure everyone has their safety gear, small knapsacks for refreshments and liquids, a small tool box, first aid kit and maps. Plan your trip on a day when the weather is perfect – not too sunny, not too warm, not too cold.

Too increase the family time spent on cycling, involve everyone. Choose a place everyone wants to go; determine the pace according to the slowest member; keep encouraging constantly; take pictures; laugh more and talk more. Since the whole point of the cycling trip is to have fun with your family, keep spirits high.
