When children catch the bike spark, they are quickly hooked. Even the little ones often can't get enough. But it's when the tour or bike park day really gets longer that parents realise how sensitive young motivation can be.
When it comes to bike clothing, children have a different comfort zone to adults. Nothing should constrict, pinch or scratch, and of course the outfit also has to look good. Fortunately, many manufacturers have Cycling clothing especially for children in the programme. This means that the next generation can start their bike adventure just as well equipped as mum and dad.
Helmets, protectors and goggles protect young bikers best when they fit perfectly. Only with suitable shoes and gloves can children develop a good feel for the bike. Sweat also quickly becomes uncomfortable for children. They also want to be able to move as freely as possible. With special clothing and backpacks, nothing stands in the way of fun.
Above all, parents want protection for their offspring. Kids go for a cool look. Good MTB clothing for kids combines both. You can find even more children's clothing and accessories in our children's special in BIKE 04/23.
