There's great news for anyone who's fed up with trying to coax their child up a hill when out on a family bike ride!

Kids Ride Shotgun has released a revised version of their towrope.

The rope is a great way to make your off-road rides more fun, and is especially useful when mountain biking with a child.

It is designed to help you pull your child and their bike up hills with a strong shock-absorbing rope, which stretches to 10.8 feet (3.3 metres).

Ideal if your child struggles to get up those steep hills or their little legs get tired during the journey.

How does the new Shotgun tow rope differ from the old rope?

There are three differences between the old and the new product

Colour change - Shotgun have changed the tow rope from blue to black to match their new branding
Removal of the Carabiner - it's now a more simple loop design to attach the tow rope (making it easier when you're wearing gloves)
Lower price point - great news, meaning more families can enjoy mountain biking together.

The new tow rope can still be used on all kid's bikes; you attach it to the parent's saddle and then the paracord is connected to the kid's bike stem.

For bikes without traditional stems, you now easily loop the rope through itself, which means it is quick to attach and easy to remove.

The tow rope is suitable to take a load up to 500lb/225kg, meaning it is suitable for big kids too!

Please note the rope is for off-road use only. It should not be used on roads, and should be disconnected before you start to head down hill.

The Shotgun Tow Rope is an easy way to make your mountain biking easier as you won't have to worry about your child struggling to get up those steep hills.

The new Kids Ride Shotgun Towrope is priced at £33.

Keep the school run rolling this term

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.
