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?

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.

Where to ride this summer

The summer is here and it's the perfect time to get your kids outside and having fun outside on their bikes.

Cycling is a great way to get the entire family off their screens, doing something together and keeping fit at the same time.

It's important to pick a family friendly cycle route that is suitable for the age and ability of your child.

That's why here at Cycle Sprog we've compiled a range of family friendly bike rides that suit all ages and abilities, from tiny balance bikers through to confident teens.
