Summer is around the corner! Are you thinking about how to get your kids active in biking this summer? Here are some ideas for easy and entertaining biking activities!
Water Balloon Pop
When putting water balloons in a line, kids need to learn how to track the line and pop the balloons while riding their bikes. Straight lines are best for beginner bikers and wavy lines are a fun challenge for more advanced kid bikers. This challenge can develop kids’ interest in biking, and train them to focus on the path and their balancing skills.
Geocaching
Do your kids want to have a treasure hunt in the summer? Consider geocaching with your kids within the neighborhood or even along bike trails in your city! Let your kids learn how to navigate their route and discover!
Pokemon Go
If your kids are interested in playing Pokemon Go, biking in your neighborhood and finding their favorite Pokemon is the best way to get involved! Remember no screens while biking, ride to a location, stop and catch a Pokemon.
Safety is key in order to have a fun and safe biking experience in the summer! If you want to discover biking routes in York Region, please visit www.york.ca/transportation/cycling/cycling-maps for more information! Let’s all have fun biking experiences this summer!
