Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Pedals on a Frog Bike
- 25 Aug 2023
Cycling is a fantastic way for kids to stay active and healthy while having fun. At Frog Bikes, we are passionate about promoting cycling as a sport and recreational activity for children of all ages. We believe that cycling events are a great way to encourage kids to get on their bikes and experience the joy of cycling.
There are many cycling events happening all over the world, from local family bike rides to charity rides and races. These events offer a great opportunity for kids to get involved in cycling and meet other young riders who share their passion for the sport.
Once your child has mastered balancing and pedalling a bike, then it’s the perfect time to encourage them to learn some new skills and drills to challenge them.
Frog Bikes and Welsh Cycling are thrilled to launch the new cycling Skills Award designed to help young cyclists improve their cycling skills and confidence.
We caught up with Anna Glowinski, a lifelong cyclist and cycling ambassador. Anna was racing from the age of five, but being more creative than competitive she followed a media and design career path in cycling. She launched a women's cycling clothing brand, AnaNichoola in 2009 and also became known as a television presenter, for ITV4’s ‘The Cycle Show,’ where she was sent out to try all sorts of exciting and scary cycling skills. From velodrome to dirt jumps, MTB to road racing, Anna definitely enjoys the adrenaline side of bikes. When we approached Anna for a Q&A session she was very happy to share her journey with us.

How wonderful is it to stop and watch children riding past on their bikes with such confidence… We often wonder how long they have been riding.
The time it takes for children to feel confident on two wheels could be a day, a week, or even months. It’s essential to let kids practice cycling time and time again but also allow them a break if they feel overwhelmed.
Whatever your age, learning to cycle opens up a world of opportunities! Cycling keeps us fit, reduces our carbon footprint and helps us look after our mental wellbeing. From cycling to school or work to avoid getting stuck in traffic, to replacing short car journeys with cycling to help save the planet. Learning to cycle is an essential life skill, and here’s a great way to get started!
Being part of a cycling club is not just great for adults, but for children too. With fuel prices having increased and better weather returning, what better way to travel than to cycle. Not only is it lighter on the pocket but excellent for being greener and improving mental well-being - and that goes for kids as well!
