Inspiration & stories

Family cycling inspiration

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?

Summer cycling: better for your wallet and your mood

With fuel prices rising, many families are looking for simple ways to cut everyday costs. The good news? Summer is the perfect time to get back on the bike.

Long daylight hours, warmer weather and school holidays make cycling an easy and enjoyable choice for days out, local errands and family adventures.

Whether you're riding to save money, enjoy the fresh air or just add a little movement to the day, cycling can make everyday journeys simpler, healthier and more fun.
