Youth
Children loves cycling – it’s fast and fun, and gives them freedom and independence to get around.
At Mibt, we believe children should enjoy the opportunity to go out and ride because it improves fitness and boost their positive mental attitude. And you don’t need to wait until your kids are old enough to ride themselves to start enjoying the benefits of cycling as a family. Children will also get a powerful dose of bilateral coordination practice as they learn to work both legs together to turn the pedals. This requires the same reciprocal leg movements that are required for coordinated, fluent walking. And, kids get great practice with balance as they lift their feet off of the ground and up to the pedals before initiating movement. Working the handlebars encourages upper body proprioception and strength as the hands support the upper body while turning when needed.
