GETTING KIDS PSYCHED ON BIKES
Pedal Pioneers: A Guide to Bicycle Travel with Kids is designed to help teachers, youth group leaders, and passionate individuals organize their own group youth tours for kids who can bicycle independently. Learn more below or order your copy now. You can also download the Guide.

In five sections, Pedal Pioneers walks leaders through each stage of organizing a trip for kids. The sections include: Trip Design and Development, Turning Kids into Cyclists, Resources and Logistics, Life on the Road, Coming Home, and an Appendix.

The Guide covers many of the details that leaders need to know when considering or planning a bike tour with kids, with chapters on Partnerships, Participant Recruitment and Retention, Route Planning, Bicycle Safety and Riding Techniques, Equipment and Clothing, Hydration and Fuel, First Aid and Health, Overnight Accommodations, Group Dynamics, and much more.

The Guide comes packaged in a user-friendly binder with a sample magazine, stickers, safety information, a discounted membership coupon, and more. Want to preview the Guide? Click here for a PDF sample.

You do not need to be a seasoned leader or an accomplished rider to organize a trip — you just need a passion for kids and bicycling, and the time and energy to make it happen.

Our first printing of 250 copies flew off the shelves. Check out what those readers have to say about the Guide and order your copy today or download the Guide now.
