Life’s a Cycle
Parents can keep their resolutions to get outdoors, get fit and spend more time with family with the gift of cycling together. Performance Bicycle stores have all the gear and accessories to make biking a fun and safe family activity, like the Blackburn Multi Mirror ($19.99) so parents can keep an eye on little ones peddling behind. For night riding, there’s the NiteRider Sol.200 LED Headlight ($159.00) and the Ascent Commuter Light Set ($29.99), sized compact enough for kids’ bikes, to light up the path ahead and make it easier to spot kids’ bikes after dark.
