Advice needed about cycling with young children

[nancy sv]

I guess you could say I've had a bit of experience here! My husband and I returned back home last June after cycling 9300 miles through 19 US states and 4 Mexican states in 12 months with our (then)9-year-old twins! We will take off again in June this year to ride from Alaska to ARgentina with our (now) 10-year-old boys... You can read about our adventures at www.familyonbikes.org

We have found that for short day rides, the boys don't need anything special. they did eventually discover that cycling shorts were more comfortable for long days in the saddle, but if you aren't doing 8 or 10 hour days, it really doesn't matter.

Mostly - just go and have fun!! Take lots of breaks - that was the part of the trip my boys liked best!
