Some folks wondering if that having kids in organized sports might turn off some children later on, in life from exercise in general.
Well, only if the parents pay attention to the child, when child expresses dislike in the sport that they participating in. This is not necessarily easily to gauge, because a sport may be a bit challenging first but it does become obvious later, if the child is not motivated consistently or is getting injured too often. But child must feel comfortable expressing dislike/disinterest to parent(s).

I do support exposing children to broad range of sports where they learn and play it safely. I always hope that there is at least 1 sport/exercise that the child enjoys/naturally gravitates, gives them happy memories where later they will return to the sport as an adult for long-term enjoyment and health.

And thus, this is what cycling did for me.
