WINTER CYCLING GLOVES

Tigo Winter Gloves - suitable for ages 2 - 7 years with easy opening cuff

Polaris Mini Hoolie Gloves - another highly recommended kids size winter cycling glove

Shotgun Pogies - weather proof mittens for smaller children using a front bike seat

ETC Junior Mittens - these kids sized mittens are made specifically for cycling in, so shouldn't get "stuck" like Alex's son's did

Adult Winter cycling gloves - windproof and waterproof is what's needed for winter riding

Alex’s Bar End Mittens - easy to keep track of as they stay on your handlebars - unless your other half doesn't like them!

WINTER CYCLING CLOTHING

Outer Layers for keeping kids warm and dry - having a warm layer and a water proof layer helps with year round usage and stops overheating with one chunky layer

Thermal kids sized cycling leggings - great for keeping legs warm when out on winter bike rides

Thermal underlayers - for keeping warm on and off the bike

RAIN PROTECTION

Hamax Bike seat poncho - for keeping little ones dry on a bike seat

Front Bike Seat Windshield - weather protection for your child (and you!)

Trailers - offer protection from the rain and come in single and double versions. Note not all come with water proof covers and these need purchasing separately

OTHER ACCESSORIES

Contigo thermal mug The mug Alex uses to keep his coffee warm on the school run

Camelbak We saw a recommendation on the excellent Family Cycling UK Facebook Group for adding warm drinks to a Camelbak to keep your back and your tummy warm! We've not tried this ourselves, but if you try it out do let us know how you get on (we're not being held responsible for any mishaps on this!)

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.
