"Cycling is contagious.  My children saw how much their parents enjoyed cycling with a group.  They do triathlons and they are usually 1st or 2nd out of the water, but rode mountain bikes and would get passed by kids on road bikes.  I think the best thing about the kids cycling group is the huge smiles while they are riding."
