Tips for the perfect cycling holiday with children

Good planning is key to a relaxing time on the bike.

  • choose short routes
  • keep elevation gain low (approx. 200–300 m)
  • include plenty of breaks

2. Prioritise the experience over performance

  • Children want to explore, not rack up the kilometres.
  • Stops at lakes, playgrounds or huts make every ride more exciting.

3. Safety first

  • helmets are compulsory
  • choose the right bike size
  • opt for easy trails

4. Learn technique through play

  • Bike parks and practice trails help children gain confidence – and are great fun at the same time.
