Family Bike Rides: Keeping Them Fun and Safe

May is National Bike Month.  While family bike rides are a lot of fun, they can be a bit nerve-racking, because kids are sometimes uncoordinated and unpredictable. Here are a few tips to make your family bike rides more fun, while keeping everyone safe.

The League of American Bicyclists is promoting Bike to Work Week 2014 from May 12-16, with Friday, May 16 designated as Bike to Work Day. 

For me, every week is bike to work week.  Four years ago, I made a major lifestyle change when I  bought a commuter bike, helmet and locMay is National Bike Month posterk at the local bike shop.  At the same time, I moved the MomsTeam offices closer to my home so I could get to work under my own power and eliminate an hour of commuting (and all the gas and carbon monoxide that driving involves).

You've dusted off your bike and gone out with your kids for your first family ride of the season, but now your butt hurts.  I wish I could promise that, after you been riding a few more times, your butt will stop hurting,  but I can't.  I can promise, however, that it will get better, and that there are some things you can do for a sore butt and some of the other minor, but often painful, problems you may experience from recreational/fitness cycling.
