Off-the-bike activities<\/p>\n
In our slightly biased opinion, cycling is a lot of fun, but it\u2019s a good idea to incorporate some off-the-bike activities too.<\/p>\n
This could be a simple river or beach stop to paddle and throw stones, or you might have a specific attraction to visit along the way \u2013 a spooky castle or open gardens to explore.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it\u2019s about getting creative \u2013 making art with objects you can find in nature, photographing your favourite sights, stopping to do some watercolour painting or drawing, writing a travel journal\/scrapbook or doing a scavenger hunt.<\/p>\n
On-the-bike activities<\/p>\n
If your kids are on their own cycles or a tag-along, you could set yourselves a nature spotting challenge or give them a bike computer to track your speed and mileage.<\/p>\n
If they\u2019re in a trailer then there are lots of options \u2013 listening to audio books, picture books, toys, colouring-in books and more.<\/p>\n
If you already care for a little one, then we probably don\u2019t need to emphasise the importance of having plenty of snacks. Keep them handy in a handlebar bag or similar.<\/p>\n
Happy cycling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Off-the-bike activities In our slightly biased opinion, cycling is a lot of fun, but it\u2019s a good idea…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83928,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[50202,49,48,50210,50212,635,50214,50201,50211,50207,50200,50199,50208,50209,50217,50203,50215,50216,50213,50219,82,50218,50204,50206,50205],"class_list":["post-83927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-best-family-cycle-routes-uk","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-coast-to-coast-cycle-route-families","tag-costa-rica-family-cycling-holiday","tag-cycling","tag-cycling-activities-for-kids","tag-cycling-with-kids","tag-danube-cycle-path-family-holiday","tag-e-bikes-for-family-cycling","tag-family-cycling-adventure","tag-family-cycling-holidays-uk","tag-family-friendly-cycle-routes-northumberland","tag-hadrians-cycleway-with-kids","tag-luggage-logistics-cycle-touring-families","tag-national-cycle-network-family-routes","tag-off-the-bike-activities-cycling-holidays","tag-on-the-bike-games-for-kids","tag-planning-a-family-cycling-holiday","tag-saddle-skedaddle-family-cycling-holidays","tag-sports","tag-sustrans-family-cycling-routes","tag-tips-for-cycling-with-kids","tag-trailers-and-tag-alongs","tag-what-to-pack-for-a-family-cycling-holiday"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
