thank you! happy you’ve found those useful!

Kyndall, I hear you! something similar happened to me rollerblading when I rented roller skates with no break addons. I am thankful to all the gods that I crashed into a nice soft grass lawn, but very close to a busy trafficked street..

Hahaha! I know, me too! our husband does that all the time though. he got into trouble few years back when his bike chain broke right when he was speeding down the hill. don’t ask how it happened, but now he is very strict about maintenance

thank you Shirley, when you have a 3yo with a butt-bug, and you need to help him release all this energy – safety is the first thing you think of!

Thank you Pam, oh really? we haven’t been yet. need to add this location to our to-do 🙂

thank you! yes it is indeed important to teach kids good habits early!

thank you Becky, for sure, some of them are very common sense but I too wasn’t thinking about it before I’ve done my research. for example what could be better than riding a bike while also listening to your favourite tune – turns out you are endangering everyone around this way. We were at the park the other day, and my 3yo was almost hit by an incoming biker turning a corner who had headphones on and didn’t hear us yelling…

yes absolutely! I wonder how many people are focused on teaching the actual physical process but never bother to see that a bicycle is indeed a vehicle. you need to know the rules of the road.

“imagining yourself invisible” is a great tip. i’ll use it with my son when he is older. with your kids age i think the most important would be to enforce “no headset” rule

absolutely! best to start off your toddler somewhere off the street – at a park or on a trail. less people and other bikers would be good too so she can get a firm grasp of maneuvering her bike!

oh cool! where are you biking?! share your trails – tag #perfectDayToPlay on your instagram photos 🙂
