Freedom

Think back to when you first rode a bike for yourself and try to remember just how exciting it felt. Sure we might think that getting our first car gives us our first sense of freedom, but riding a bike comes before that. For your child, riding a bike represents a huge stepping stone for them. This is the first time they get to control where they’re going, how fast they get there and the route that they take. Riding a bike is more than simple fun it’s your child’s first sense of freedom and can help them to exercise their sense of adventure.

Exercise

Speaking of exercise, riding a bike is a great way for your kids to become more physical in their free time. Not all kids enjoy soccer, football, or swimming, and riding a bike can offer them a new way to burn off all of that extra energy.

Reduce Screen Time

We’re all guilty of enjoying a little too much screen time, either sitting in from of the TV or using a smartphone or tablet. Riding a bike is the perfect way to balance that screen time with some outdoor time. 

Discovery

Riding to school, to the shops, or around the park might seem like just another day for you, but to your children, this is a huge new adventure. Every new puddle they ride through, each canopy of trees they ride under, it’s all new and exciting and riding a bike brings this world of discovery to them at their own pace.

Sharing the fun

It’s not just about your kids getting out on a bike and having fun, you can enjoy it too. Riding as a family is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and enjoy new experiences. Head out on your own family adventures, ride through fields and next to streams. Riding is more fun when it’s with your family.

Patrol Mountain not only builds mountain bikes for adults but also high-performance kids bikes, for little riders who want to get out and discover the unknown.

A Comprehensive Guide to Converting Your Patrol Mountain Bike to Tubeless Bliss

Switching to tubeless tires offers benefits like reduced puncture risk due to internal sealant, lower rolling resistance for a smoother ride, and enhanced traction from running lower pressures without pinch flats. The process involves using tubeless-ready components and following steps to remove existing tires, apply rim tape, and install valves and tires, then adding sealant and inflating. Tubeless conversion results in a lighter, more agile, and responsive ride.

Nailing Sag: A Guide to Setting Up Your Full Suspension Patrol Mountain Bike

Setting proper sag is vital for a Patrol Mountain bike’s performance. A shock pump, tape measure, and assistant are needed for measuring the suspension compression under the rider’s weight.
