Let’s help kids to have enjoyable, successful experiences when they mountain bike We have gathered together support and solutions so you can keep them safe and comfortable.
Supporting you to get the right solutions so you can SMILE when you ride.
Keep them safe and protected as they learn and challenge themselves
Key things to know about getting kids out and riding off road trails is that you need basic gear: a mountain bike helmet and bike gloves to keep them safe and protected when they ride. To prevent them being put off from abrasions and injuries from falls consider adding padding for the knees and maybe their elbows.
Best way to make sure you get the safety and protection you need is to match your helmet and gloves to the level of riding the kids do. Choose soft or hard protective padding to best match the riding and activities they do.
Enjoy our selected stories: Kids Mountain Bike Helmets: What are the options? Do Kids need bike gloves? Soft versus hard protective padding?

Riding Clothing to support their comfort
Key things to know about kids and comfort… is that often the seat on your kids bike will not support their comfort. Having specific biking/outdoor clothes helps them want to go riding. They know how to get ready and what to wear when they are going for a ride.
Best way to improve their seat comfort is to add a layer of cushioning. Padded bike underwear can help them enjoy their time on the bike. Have performance riding clothing that they love, is breathable, moisture wicking, and for jackets is waterproof.

Additional Gear to help your ride be successful
Key things to know about helping make their ride enjoyable is that little things will make a big difference. Are they tired, will they get thirsty? When kids ride they want and need to drink more regularly than adults do so having access to their water is important.
Best way to assist them when tired is to carry a tow rope. A tow rope provides a safe way for you to tow your child over challenging terrain and when they are tired. Give them easy access to water, when they need it.
