In today's information age, kids are spending more time staring at screens than playing and learning outside. Studies show that children that have more than 5 hours of screen time a day, experience thinning of their brain cortex, which is needed for reasoning and critical thinking. What are you doing to make sure your child is getting outside?

Bicycles are the best way for your children to learn and develop outside in the fresh air. Vitamin D (gained from time in the sun) is critical for adolescent bone growth and development. While a vitamin D deficiency causes weakening muscles, delayed motor development and poor bone health; cycling boosts these factors.

Make sure you’re giving your child every opportunity to develop fully in a safe, healthy environment. Bicycles aren’t only a rite of passage; it should be part of your child’s lifestyle.
