Family bike rides are a fantastic way to spend time together, explore new places, and create lasting memories. But nothing ruins a trip faster than a flat tire, wobbly seat, or a bike that’s too small (or too big!) for your child. Here’s how to get your family bikes ready for adventures, so you can focus on fun instead of fixing.
1. Start with the Right Fit
Kids grow fast, and a bike that fit perfectly last summer might be too small now. A properly sized bike is crucial for comfort and safety. Check that your child’s feet can touch the ground when seated, and their knees aren’t overextended when pedaling.
Not sure if your child’s bike is the right size? I can help with adjustments and expert advice to ensure a perfect fit for every family member.
2. Safety First
Before hitting the trails, it’s important to check every bike for safety. Look out for worn brakes, loose handlebars, and underinflated tires. Kids’ bikes, in particular, can take a beating and may need extra TLC.
During a family bike service, I’ll inspect every bike, tighten bolts, replace worn parts, and ensure they’re all safe and roadworthy.
3. Prepare for the Trip
Planning a holiday or day out? Whether you’re cycling the coast or exploring countryside trails, it’s essential to prep your bikes beforehand. I recommend:
Checking tire pressure and tread.
Lubricating chains to ensure a smooth ride.
Packing a small repair kit for quick fixes on the go.
I can get your bikes adventure-ready with a full service and share tips on what to bring along for a worry-free trip.
4. Avoid Nasty Surprises
Imagine arriving at your holiday destination, ready to ride, only to discover a flat tire or a faulty gear system. Regular maintenance prevents these unexpected headaches. A quick tune-up before your trip ensures everything is in top condition, so you can relax and enjoy your time away.
