Enjoying Cycling For Recreation Purposes
By James Brown

Most families enjoy cycling together for recreational purposes
because it is very relaxing and gives them a good chance to
become closer. In the past, families only allowed children to
ride their bikes in their own neighborhood but the areas where
children ride has expanded far from home. The children had very
few choices over where they could ride to enjoy nature because
the streets were often paved in asphalt and were deep within the
city limits.

The chance to go cycling in the woods was very limited because
the homes that children who could afford bicycles were often
located in the middle of suburbia and construction crews had cut
most of the trees down when they built the neighborhoods.
Families turned to public recreation areas to give their
children a chance to enjoy fresh air and sunshine and the
opportunity to spend a little time together.

Bike paths are plentiful throughout all national parks, and
children only have to consider what type of biking that they
want to do. They can go cycling on nature paths if they have a
bicycle equipped with tyres that are suitable for all terrains,
and some are lucky enough to get a mountain bike as a gift from
family or friends. Boys would generally prefer to own a mountain
bike because their recreational interests lean more toward doing
stunts and driving bikes through dirt than riding one on an
asphalt surface that could do serious damage to their body if
they fell off.

Little girls loved riding along bike paths that were far from
busy traffic areas because that is where they felt the safest.
The bicycles that they would bring with them to these parks
would be one that only one person could ride, but they might
bring along a tricycle if they had a small sister that wanted to
ride with them.

When families visited a State Park, they could all enjoy riding
various types of bikes for recreational purposes and parents
would know that the children were getting good exercise while
having a good time too. Some of the children might race against
each other in parking lots, or they could take their cycling to
the streets where they could pedal for hours without any
obstacles getting in their way. There were many people who
practiced their cycling team challenges at the park, and
children loved to sit and watch them race.

Most children were satisfied that they were outdoors and rarely
came when called the first time because they would not be ready
to go inside. When using a bicycle for recreation purposes, most
children would find things to put in the spokes just so they
could hear the puttering sounds as the pieces of cardboard went
round and round. Cycling is still fun for these children and
they probably will take their own children biking one day.
Cycling in state parks will be around for a long time to come
and most children know this and have the presence of mind and
patience to wait for the next opportunity.
