Family on a Bike and The Family Adventure Project

The Feldmann and Gagnon families are two families that bicycle tour. They've been featured in other pages on this site.

From Guestbook entries, survey responses and private email messages it is obvious to me that there is a lot of interest in bicycle touring as a family. One web site that attempts to fill this niche is Family On A Bike. This web site features a number of resources that families interested in touring together might like to consider.

Here's a little more information about Family On A Bike submitted by Stuart Wickes from Family On A Bike.

Family On A Bike is a family run project and web site which aims to inspire other families to live adventurously by showcasing inspiring stories and journals of family adventurers around the world.

Stuart Wickes and Kirstie Pelling, the Mum and Dad of familyonabike, are both keen cycle tourists who have toured extensively in the UK, Europe and South America. Now with a growing family, their touring continues but with the added excitement and challenge of taking the toddlers. They see no reason why children should be an obstacle to adventurous long distance touring or adventuring in other ways.

Stuart and Kirstie hope that by sharing their own stories and those of the other adventurous families they have tracked down and interviewed for the project, they can help others learn about the many different ways, trials, tribulations, dramas and delights of adventuring as a family, and develop the inspiration and commitment to give it a go themselves.
