January
These are a few ofour favourite January things
Who says that January is cold and gloomy? Not us! Time to use ALL the things everyone got for Christmas: the bikes, the scooters, the skateboards, the hats and gloves, the trainers and walking boots. Get them on and get outside into the fresh air!
LET YOUR
ADVENTURES
BEGIN
Faringdon Cycle Park
If your little one received a bike for Christmas then this mini village is the place to get practicing! Lots of free learn to cycle courses held here too.
Discover somewhere new...
You are here for the inspo and we are delighted! How about a nature reserve you’ve never visited, right on your doorstep!
1000 hours outside
Have you heard of the 1000 hours outside challenge? It’s not as hard as it sounds. Download your free tracker sheets and set some outdoor goals for 2024!
Dry January?
Dry January? Januhairy? As a pregnant woman, I’ll see your month of abstinence and raise you eight! I wrote this for Huff Post when I was pregnant and it still makes me laugh!
DON’T
FORGET TO
If family cycling is on your list of things to do more of this year then don’t forget to visit Cycling UK. It’s such a great startring point for everything from family-friendly cycle routes to tips on transporting children by bike. We highly recommend!
