Getting out there on your bike with your toddler just got made easier and more fun!

Last year, the good folk from Kids Ride Shotgun released their new Shotgun Pro Child Bike Seat (£180).

Built for kids 2-5 years, the pro seat was an evolution on their original Shotgun Mountain Bike Seat (£75), featuring zero frame contact, and most importantly – quick release fitting.

Kids Ride Shotgun have now released their new Pro Handlebars (£55) to match the Pro Seat, providing a quick release handlebar option for mountain bike parents.

The new pro bars from Shotgun provide an easy and secure setup for your toddler, that also keeps them away from your brake levers and dropper post controls whilst you shred the trails together.

Being quick release means you can easily swap over onto another bike, meaning both mum and dad can get time with their Sprog (and alone!)

The extra-wide bars feature proportionately sized, 19mm grips, specifically designed for little hands, that also incorporates the same styling as the pro seat.

The new bars are available as a combo with the shotgun pro child seat (£225, saving £10), or stand alone for those with a child seat already.

Mountain bike parents can get them from their local bike shop, or buy online direct from Shotgun.

Here's a lovely video the folks at Shotgun have made which captures just how much fun it is to get out shredding with your little one:

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.
