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?

Cycle Sprog's most popular articles

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.

Winter cycling adventures await!

The temperatures have dropped and the mornings are frosty, but that doesn’t mean family cycling has to go into hibernation. With cosy layers, dependable lights and a bit of forward planning, you can keep riding right through the winter months.

We’ve gathered our best tips and trusted gear recommendations to help you stay warm, dry and visible on every ride — from icy school runs and festive weekend outings to energetic laps at the local park. Winter cycling can be brilliant fun, and we’re here to help you make the most of it!
