Wrap them up warm and away you go \u2013 a love for the outside and riding bikes together built-in from before they can remember. Once they\u2019re old enough a balance bike is the perfect next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start Small<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re pedalling on little legs, a short blast for you can feel like the Tour De France for them! Start with short rides, and finish before they\u2019re so tired the tantrums start. Keeping the experience as positive as possible is going to be key to your little one wanting to ride again! As your kids get stronger they\u2019ll progress naturally on to bigger rides and challenges but don\u2019t forget for kids (and big kids too eh) learning to pop a wheelie or zoom around a mini slalom course can be just as much fun as going on an epic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Snacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A hangry child does not a happy ride make. Make sure you take plenty of snacks\/drinks and stop for regular refuelling breaks. Don\u2019t give them the chance to get hungry, as their energy levels will slide pretty quickly once they do. Extra weight in your bag is never fun, but neither is a hungry child who has to ride 3 miles back to the car on empty (trust us on this one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make it FUN!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the most important one, and really unites all the points made above. The key to a happy relationship between your kid and his\/her bike is to keep it fun! If you start trying to get them grinding out the miles, or doing things that scare them they\u2019ll very quickly learn to associate riding their bike with a whole load of negative feelings, which is exactly what you don\u2019t want. Start small, let them take the lead and work out together what they do and don\u2019t like to do on the bike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bribery <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One to keep up your sleeves for when you need it. Sometimes the allure of technology and staying inside in the warm is just too much and the idea of heading outside to ride bikes just simply does not appeal. Once they\u2019re out from experience we\u2019re 99% sure they\u2019ll have an absolute ball (if you follow the tips above) but sometimes a bit of extra encouragement (cake stop anyone?) is needed. We\u2019ve all been there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So they\u2019re our top tips for helping your little ones to fall in love with cycling \u2013 do you have any more to share?
