Exploring with kids: Urban Arrow adventures
Riding a cargo bike with your kids is a fantastic way to discover the world around you and have some precious quality time together. But how do you plan the perfect route? We would love to share some tips and tricks for a safe and enjoyable cargo bike together!
Comfort and safety during your ride
When you are planning to go on a long trip with your little ones, a good preparation can truly make a difference. Do not forget to pack your daily essentials like water, snacks, sunscreen and hats. Especially on the sunny days the Urban Arrow Suncover could be a good addition to your cargo bike essentials, keeping your little ones safe against sunburn due to its SPF 50 protective layer.
Regular maintenance checks on your bike, like checking the tire pressure, brakes, and the overall condition of your bike, are crucial to have the smoothest ride possible. Make sure to secure your kids with the seat belts to keep them safely in place during the ride. Creating a safe, enjoyable, and memorable biking experience for the whole family!

Tips for a unique city route: fun, education, and relaxation
Selecting a route that offers a mix of fun, educational and relaxation elements can sometimes be challenging. We love to share our favorite tips for the perfect route:
- Make your ride an urban adventure: Transform your city ride into a thrilling urban adventure by planning a route that takes you through various city parks. All that green offers a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of city life and provides opportunities for play and relaxation. Stop at playgrounds where your kids can burn off some energy and make new friends. Pack a picnic with some of your favorite snacks and enjoy a relaxing break under the shade of a tree.
- If you’re more into educational stops, there are plenty of enriching options to include in your route. Head to the local zoo, where your kids can learn about a variety of animals and marine life. Zoos often have interactive exhibits and feeding times that can make the visit even more exciting. Many cities also boast museums designed specifically for children, featuring hands-on exhibits and activities that make learning fun. From science centers to history museums, these educational stops are not only informative but also exciting for young minds.
- No bike ride is complete without a delicious treat to top off the adventure. Make sure to visit your favorite ice cream shop on the way back. Whether it’s a classic scoop of vanilla or an adventurous new flavor, ice cream is the perfect way to end an enjoyable day with your family. Consider trying a new place each time to become a true ice cream expert!
