woom Monthly August Issue 🚲

There are only a handful of days left in summer break. To make the most of them, slow down time by ditching digital distractions. Not sure exactly how to unplug? The team at Everyday Health recently highlighted woom for encouraging outside play and real-world engagement.

Now, before school starts, is the perfect time to check your child’s bike fit. Ensuring your child is on the correct wheel size is essential for their safety, riding posture, and overall confidence. Take our quick quiz to find their perfect fit in under a minute.

Curious about skipping the dreaded car drop-off line and riding with your kid to school? Take it from us – it’s worth it if you can swing it! Here are our top tips:

⏰ Build in some buffer time.
Reduce your stress (and theirs) and leave earlier than you have to. This also allows you to stop and check out whatever your kid spots along the way (like a butterfly or a cool rock).

🚲 Have a plan for their bike.
Some parents help their child lock up their bike at school, others take it back home strapped to a cargo bike or inside a bike trailer. Maybe your gym teacher has a spot for it.

📍 Practice the route ahead of time.
Going to school, especially after a summer break, can be a tough adjustment. But if they’ve already mastered the ride beforehand, the commute will be smooth sailing.
