Pedal Pioneers: A Guide to Bicycle Travel with Kids
By Adventure Cycling Association. Bicycle tours provide outstanding opportunities for youth to combine physical and mental challenges, hone social skills, learn about different regions of the world, and gain confidence and a sense of self-sufficiency through experiential learning. In five sections, an Introduction, and an exhaustive Appendix, Pedal Pioneers walks leaders through each stage of organizing a bicycle trip for groups of kids who can ride bicycles independently. Some of the Guide chapters include; Leaders and Participants, Route Planning, What to Take and How to Pack, Safety and Riding Techniques, Overnight Accommodations, Food and Hydration, Communications, and much more. (We do not discuss trailers, bike seats, or trail-a-bikes.) The Guide comes packaged in a user-friendly binder with sample magazines, stickers, safety information, a discounted membership coupon, and more. 88pgs.
