One day, almost any parent is faced with a child's request to buy him a bicycle. Is this the first transport in a child's life so necessary, and what is it worth knowing about when making your choice?
Instructions
Step 1
A bicycle consists (in terms of the main parts) of a frame, wheels, two pedals, a handlebar, a saddle and often a chain. Bicycles are three-wheeled, four-wheeled with a transformation into two-wheeled, but the most common are, of course, two-wheeled options.
Step 2
The bike is designed in such a way that both of the child's feet are used evenly in the control. The rider's back when riding a bicycle does not bend, but is in an even position, since the child sits and holds the steering wheel with his hands. When you press the pedals, the inner part of the foot is also worked out and warmed up, which is a wonderful prevention of flat feet.
Step 3
Another plus of the pedals: in order to twist them, the legs must be set straight, which in turn corrects another common foot defect, the so-called "clubfoot".
Step 4
In addition, do not forget that in addition to directly developing the muscles of the legs, the bike is a wonderful cardio trainer, which is incredibly beneficial for the heart and the entire circulatory system.
Step 5
The bicycle has, perhaps, only a few disadvantages, if you can call them that. It is heavy and difficult to master. Some children need a lot of time and active help from their parents in order to learn how to ride. Weight can also be a problem, if a child gets tired of riding a bike, parents will have to roll it on their own, you can't take it in one hand. On the other hand, due to their size, bicycles have so-called racks, or baskets, where you can put sandbox equipment, a ball, spare clothes for a child, or even purchases made along the way.
