Hiring bikes for the family on our Cornish holiday
Our first time hiring bikes opened our eyes to riding through fantastic Cornish countryside. Would the boys miss the beach?
The reason that we first set up Cycle Sprog was to help other parents to start cycling with their young children. We didn’t have any role models, and found it very difficult knowing how, where, when and what to do!
Over the years we’ve met loads of other cycling families, and we never fail to be inspired by what other Cycle Sprogs are up to.
We really hope that these articles will make you want to leap on your bikes and start pedalling – who knows where you’ll end up?

Here at Cycle Sprog we help thousands of families each week find the information they need about kids bikes and cycling together as a family.
We've got hundreds of articles on the website, and we do hope you enjoy browsing them, but if you're in a hurry these are our most popular articles that will get you started.
Term is well underway, routines are settling in, and that makes now a good moment to build cycling into everyday life, not just at the start of term but for the weeks ahead.
If you've been meaning to try cycling to school, there's still no pressure to do it every day: even once a week is a great way to build confidence and get everyone comfortable on their bikes.
The mornings are noticeably cooler now, and the evenings are drawing in too, so it's worth thinking about layers, lights and waterproof bits sooner rather than later. A little planning helps: finding routes that avoid the worst of the traffic, and building in a bit of extra time while everyone gets used to riding in the dimmer light.
Whether it's the ride to the school gates, a weekend trail or just a spin round the block, every journey this term is a chance to build confidence, stay active and make cycling part of family life. Half term is coming up too, a great excuse for a longer ride together.
Explore our guides for getting kitted out for cooler days, route planning and tips to help your family cycle to school with confidence this term.
Here at Cycle Sprog we're always publishing brilliant new articles, and here's a selection of our newest releases.
