Touring with kids

Friday, August 13, 2004

A mother who started bicycle touring with her kids when they were 7 and 10 gives us her advice on bicycling touring with kids. In a nutshell:

Feed them frequently.
Stop early and often.
Hydrate them continuously.
Ride behind and to the left of the last child.
Give them a job.
Keep goals incredibly small.
Patience.
