For a successful family cycling trip:

• Opt for stretches of greenways, presented under the section ‘Special Family-friendly Options’ (which you can access via the Home Page) and indicated in green on the maps of ViaRhôna’s sections and stages.
• Start with short, easy stages for the children.
  Fifteen to 25 km in a day is a reasonable distance to start off with.
• Prepare your cycling trip carefully in advance.
  Good preparation generally helps avoid any nasty surprises along the route. Also check the weather forecast closely before heading out.
• Stop regularly for a rest.
  Plan for visits and activities along ViaRhôna – there’s a great choice.
• Take water and energy foods with you.
• Inform your children of the safety regulations they must respect.
  Respect the highway code. Remember to cycle on the right-hand side, to look straight ahead and anticipate, and to stop at all junctions.
• It is possible to rent trailers or a third wheel for a trailer.
  This is much more comfortable and more fun than travelling with a child seat or baby seat.
• Check that all bikes are in a good state of repair, for you and your child or children.
• Check that the size of bike is right for each child.
