Hey Dads! Father's Day is approaching, and it's time to think about how you want to celebrate this special day. Often, Father's Day revolves around breakfast in bed, gifts, and maybe a barbecue, but more and more dads are thinking: "Is this really what I want to do on my special day?"
How about a day that truly sticks with you, together with those who made you a father in the first place? Load the kids into the cargo bike and make it a fantastic day filled with fresh air, plenty of exercise, small adventures, and most importantly: new shared memories!
When is Father's Day 2025?
Mark Sunday, June 15, 2025, in your calendar! In the Netherlands, Father's Day always falls on the third Sunday of June, making it the perfect opportunity for a fun family outing.
Traditional Father's Day celebration in the Netherlands
The classic Father's Day celebration in the Netherlands revolves around coziness and family. Children often surprise dads with handmade gifts, breakfast in bed, and fun activities at home or nearby. These traditions are wonderful, but more and more fathers are choosing to spend the day outdoors and share a special experience with their family.
Why your cargo bike is the perfect Father's Day companion:
With a cargo bike, you spend valuable time with your children. Exercising in the fresh air is good for everyone, and you avoid the hassle of parking and traffic jams. Your children will love riding on the cargo bike; for them, it's a real adventure. Plus, you can bring everything you need for a perfect day.
Ideas for a Father's Day outing with your cargo bike
Playground hopping
Plan a route with multiple playgrounds as stopovers. The kids can let loose while you enjoy the sun on a bench. Perfect for younger children with short attention spans!
Discover your own city
Plan a route to the best ice cream parlor and to the places you loved visiting as a child. Your children will be amazed at how much there is to discover!
The picnic packing list for your outing
The cargo box of your Urban Arrow has enough room for everything you need for a relaxing day:
For hunger: Whole-wheat sandwiches, wraps, cut vegetables with dip, fruit skewers.
For thirst: Plenty of water, fruit juice, and lemonade.
For small cravings: Nuts, dried fruit, or a few cookies.
For coziness: A large picnic blanket, maybe even a small seat cushion for your back.
For fun: Frisbee, ball, badminton set, bubble blower, or a small card game.
