Yes, a mini size of your bike to be used for a smaller child! Now you probably think, is it really necessary to buy bikes for kids? What are the benefits of riding bicycle for kids? Let’s take a look at them one by one.
Cycling Benefits for Kids
For adults, cycling can be used as means of simple transportation, a fun relaxing activity, or even as a sport, and the same goes for kids. Learning how to ride a bicycle for kids will come a long way, some even consider it as one of the basic skills kids should learn at a very young age. Adults can start teaching kids on how to ride a bike even as early as when the kids are just 1,5 years old. When kids are balanced enough and have been walking for a long time, this is the extra ability that can help support their growth and development, whether it is physically or mentally.
Practicing Balance
By learning how to cycle, kids will further develop their balancing skills. When sitting on top of a bike, they have to figure out how to balance themselves so that they can cycle and control their bike comfortably. At first, they will learn using the balance bike which has small training wheels on each side of the rear wheels. As they get more handy with it, the training wheels will be taken out and kids will have to learn to balance themselves even more. This will help them develop their motoric and coordination skills as they are taking over the bike and preventing themselves from falling. Shop for kids balance bikes now by clicking here.
Health Benefits
Even as a fun activity, cycling still has that benefit of a light sport. It gives good exercise as the kids are actively moving, strengthening their body and leg muscles.
Increased Focus
A study once found that kids who learned how to cycle have better focus and are ready to absorb information from school rather than kids who have not learned it yet.
Learning How To Navigate
One of the fun things about riding a bicycle for kids is that they will have the chance to explore. They can navigate their ways to get to a certain place, back to where they started, and figure out shortcuts. This can help to increase their memorizing and intuitive skills.
Enhance Social Skills
During their cycling activity, kids will be cruising through their neighborhood and meeting a lot of people. This is one of the ways that they will meet other people outside their family and develop social skills. Children will learn how to not get scared of strangers, how to interact with new people, and practice on their confidence. Cycling will help them get used to making friends and not be as shy anymore.
Boost Their Emotional Wellbeing
Being outside and seeing new scenery can be a breath of fresh air that kids need. They get to enjoy themselves and have lots and lots of fun! It promotes a positive mental attitude and relieves stress, even on kids!
