Kentwood Cycling and Fitness
Whether you hit the locals trails or just ride around your neighborhood, cycling is a sport that is great for all ages. It’s good exercise and a chance to spend quality family time together. So, what do you need to get started? We went to the pros at Kentwood Cycling and Fitness to find out.
1. First and foremost you need safety gear. All riders should wear a bike helmet, even the kids in the bike seat or Burley. Make sure your helmet fits properly and is level on your head. The strap under your chin should fit snug and be two fingers width under your jaw line.
2. Second is bike accessories. Burleys and tag-a-longs are great accessories for the little ones who are still learning to ride. They keep everyone in the family involved, but allow for longer distance riding.
