For many, this is an age when the word \u2018family\u2019 is mentioned more and more often. A family almost always means making choices. Choices between cycling and the family. But what if you don\u2019t have to make that choice? In this article, guest blogger Ruth tells how to best approach it. After all, the best adventures don\u2019t have to be big and overwhelming. If you want to share your love for cycling and bikepacking with your children, that\u2019s easier than you think. She went on a camping trip with her young daughter twice already. In this blog you\u2019ll find five tips that will help you get started in no time. <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/tips\/basic-packing-list-for-your-cycling-holiday\/\">bikepacking<\/a> You can have adventure with your young child or children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photos and text: Ruth Koops of \u2019t Jagt<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6574\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3AA54563-6652-404C-BAEF-7E96A4808231-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"cycling, bikepacking, cycling, cycle, cycling, gravel biking, gravel, tent, mother, child, ruth koops van &#039;t jagt\" class=\"wp-image-6574\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First timers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first time I went on a bike camping trip with my daughter Evie was when she was four years old. Most people looked at me blankly when I shared my plans, but I was headstrong and went ahead. We chose a beautiful nature campsite about 10 kilometers from home, packed our belongings -from tents to sleeping bags and from toys to stuffed animals- well and firmly and enjoyed, despite heavy rain, a wonderful bike adventure that we will never forget. Now we have been on the road for the second time, this time to a campsite 20 kilometers away, with beautiful weather. Appletart on the way, horseflower blossoms and the first dandelion. We both can\u2019t wait to be on the road again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We often say at our home that you learn from trying things. And I have learned, over the years, how to properly and incorrectly pack a bike with young children. Because I hope to inspire others to take on these small adventures, I am sharing my most important lessons with you in five tips.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery cd-gal-staand has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6576\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/80F3633E-0F49-43A2-A2B8-600AB725AA75-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"bikepacking\" class=\"wp-image-6576\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"6579\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/714EA029-7C56-46FA-8D37-AB514B14E6BF-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"cycling, cycling, children, child, cycling, gravel bike\" class=\"wp-image-6579\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 1. Stay close to home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless your son or daughter is Annemiek or Mathieu, you\u2019d best choose a place to sleep close to home. Your pace will be much slower than if you go on your own or with your regular Wednesday night club. We averaged just over 10km\/h with our daughter pushing me along. During our first trip, our first break was at a playground not even a kilometer from our house. Embrace that slow pace and remember: it\u2019s not about the destination, but the journey there. It\u2019s also a great opportunity to look at your immediate surroundings with different eyes: what are the beautiful things actually within a radius of 10 to 20 kilometers around your house? The kilometers you\u2019d normally be still working up to are now the most important kilometers of your adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery cd-gal-staand has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"6578\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/C62C3346-7965-40F2-8E1C-6CE8F7B23CEF-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"bikepacking, camping, gravel bike, gravel, cycling, cycling\" class=\"wp-image-6578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/C62C3346-7965-40F2-8E1C-6CE8F7B23CEF-1-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/C62C3346-7965-40F2-8E1C-6CE8F7B23CEF-1-scaled-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/C62C3346-7965-40F2-8E1C-6CE8F7B23CEF-1-scaled-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/C62C3346-7965-40F2-8E1C-6CE8F7B23CEF-1-scaled-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/C62C3346-7965-40F2-8E1C-6CE8F7B23CEF-1-scaled-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 2. Invest in good gear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good equipment saves a lot of trouble. That starts with choosing your tent: we go on trips with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decathlon.nl\/p\/buitentent-quickhiker-ultralight-4-personen\/_\/R-p-X8600103\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quickhiker light 4<\/a> from Decathlon, a tent that I can set up on my own while the daughter is playing in the playground. Even though we\u2019re only two of us, it\u2019s still incredibly nice to have a tent that\u2019s a bit larger. As for the sleeping mat, I\u2019m a huge fan of the <a href=\"https:\/\/partner.bol.com\/click\/click?p=2&amp;t=url&amp;s=1227670&amp;f=TXL&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bol.com%2Fnl%2Fnl%2Fp%2Fexped-synmat-lw-slaapmat-hoogte-9-cm-oranje%2F9200000024763196%2F&amp;name=Exped%20SynMat%20LW%20Slaapmat%20-%20Hoogte%209%20cm%20-%20Oranje\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Exped Synmat Ultralight<\/a>, to inflate with an ingenious \u2018pocket\u2019. <a href=\"https:\/\/partner.bol.com\/click\/click?p=2&amp;t=url&amp;s=1227670&amp;f=TXL&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bol.com%2Fnl%2Fnl%2Fl%2Fmummieslaapzakken%2F15386%2F&amp;name=Mummieslaapzak%20kopen%3F%20Kijk%20snel!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Warm sleeping bags<\/a> They are also a must: if you\u2019re cold at night, you really sleep a lot worse. And you notice that the next day :-). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first time I made the mistake of choosing small lightweight sleeping bags that are \u2018comfortable\u2019 at temperatures of up to 10 degrees Celsius. We knew that: in the end, I ended up lying in the sleeping bag with all my clothes and my down jacket on. For children, a t<a href=\"https:\/\/partner.bol.com\/click\/click?p=2&amp;t=url&amp;s=1227670&amp;f=TXL&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bol.com%2Fnl%2Fnl%2Fs%2Fdilling%2Bthermo%2Bondergoed%2F&amp;name=bol.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">hermo underwear set<\/a> A real recommendation is real wool, for example from the beautiful Scandinavian brand Dilling. Of course, you can also \u2018save\u2019 on your luggage by choosing a hikers\u2019 hut instead of a tent, and ordering pizzas instead of going out to eat. But the real magic comes when you cook fresh pasta on a campfire in front of your tent in the evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 3. Patience is a virtue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children remain children. A bikepacking adventure with young children works best if you consider it a big mindfulness exercise. Divide the route for yourself in advance into several blocks, and take regular breaks. And prepare yourself for the fact that much will be stopped outside those planned break locations as well. Because there is a playground. Because a horse needs to be fed. Or because your child has a tickle on his\/her ankle. Sometimes you have to pick a bunch of flowers for the cuddle that is of course included. Because they are tired or because they want to cycle over a hill. So take your time and go out on the road with the right equipment. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">mindset<\/span>You won\u2019t be going anywhere soon, not far away, and that\u2019s totally okay.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery cd-gal-staand has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"6580\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/D20FAEF1-0D70-452A-9339-456DE0496AC6-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Biking with young children \u2013 five tips from Ruth\" class=\"wp-image-6580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/D20FAEF1-0D70-452A-9339-456DE0496AC6-1-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/D20FAEF1-0D70-452A-9339-456DE0496AC6-1-scaled-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/D20FAEF1-0D70-452A-9339-456DE0496AC6-1-scaled-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/D20FAEF1-0D70-452A-9339-456DE0496AC6-1-scaled-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/D20FAEF1-0D70-452A-9339-456DE0496AC6-1-scaled-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"6577\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/863A322D-33B6-46C4-90BC-3CD8FCA0920B-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Biking with young children \u2013 five tips from Ruth, photo 2\" class=\"wp-image-6577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/863A322D-33B6-46C4-90BC-3CD8FCA0920B-1-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/863A322D-33B6-46C4-90BC-3CD8FCA0920B-1-scaled-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/863A322D-33B6-46C4-90BC-3CD8FCA0920B-1-scaled-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/863A322D-33B6-46C4-90BC-3CD8FCA0920B-1-scaled-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/863A322D-33B6-46C4-90BC-3CD8FCA0920B-1-scaled-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 4. Drive slowly or without a car<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plan the route so that you don\u2019t have to worry too much about screeching cars. Choose separated bike paths, car-free and auto-free roads, and leave the paved paths behind. Get on your mountain bike, because that gives you the freedom to choose unpaved roads, which are usually also car-free. That way, you don\u2019t have to be constantly super alert to honking drivers or your child making a sudden move. And that\u2019s a lot more relaxing when you\u2019re biking. However, recreational e-bikers are often already challenging enough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 5. Don't carry too much hay on your fork or luggage on your back<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is hardly any luggage on your child's bike. The first time my daughter didn't even have a luggage carrier, so it was just a backpack with her stuffed animals in it. The second time we tied the sleeping bag under her quick-release straps. But that means you still have to carry most of the luggage. There was plenty of space in mine. <a href=\"https:\/\/partner.bol.com\/click\/click?p=2&amp;t=url&amp;s=1227670&amp;f=TXL&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bol.com%2Fnl%2Fnl%2Fp%2Fblacburn-outpost-elite-frametas-medium-short-3-7l%2F9300000100645816%2F&amp;name=Blacburn%20Outpost%20Elite%20Frametas%20Medium-Short%203.7L\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">bike packs<\/a>, But not everything. That meant that I had the tent of about four kilograms on my back in a backpack, for example. And that is not a good plan, not only because of your posture on the bike, but also because of occasionally pushing your child along. Unless you can book a good massage at the campsite, that is really not recommended. I am now saving up for one <a href=\"https:\/\/partner.bol.com\/click\/click?p=2&amp;t=url&amp;s=1227670&amp;f=TXL&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bol.com%2Fnl%2Fnl%2Fp%2Fcroozer-cargo-pakko-fietstrailer-rood-grijs%2F9300000020526870%2F&amp;name=Croozer%20Cargo%20Pakko%20Fietstrailer%2C%20rood%2Fgrijs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">luggage trailer<\/a> before getting on the bike. Because when we start going biking more often together, that's for sure!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sander's bonus tip: ENJOY!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially with young children, the destination or the distance or the speed are not the most important things. It\u2019s mostly the moment you can share together. That\u2019s \u2018priceless\u2019, as they like to preach at a certain payment company. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De gemiddelde leeftijd van fietsers in Nederland is +\/- 35.
