The destination and type of riding will decide whether the kids want to go for a family cycling holiday – after all, it’s not always cool to go riding with your parents. But it’s a great way to bond and do things together.

Depending on your taste there’s everything from Alpine mountain holidays available, where you can separate when required, through to epic self-sufficient family touring holidays through Asia.

If you can get the thumbs up on an idea which works for everyone it could spark off interest in travel, culture, even cycling…
