One of the things we like about biking is that it’s a sport the whole family can enjoy together. With competitive sports like basketball or football, it’s tough to keep every involved at the same level. But whether you’re riding a hot pink bike with training wheels or a state-of-the-art mountain bike, you’re welcome on the East Bay Bike Path.
That being said, over the course of a day on the path, complaints and exhaustion are inevitable – especially from the training-wheelers, more commonly known as children. After a few miles of riding and family bonding, you may hear that dreaded “Are we there yet?” Luckily, there are various remedies for this.
What better motivator is there than food? Or in this case, ice cream. There is a plethora of ice cream parlors along the path. When the kids start complaining about the “grueling” ride, just remind them of the frosty, delicious light at the end of the tunnel. Trying to cut back on the sweets and treats? Never fear, there are plenty of kid-friendly restaurants along the way too. We’ve rounded up some of your best bets below, so you can use this as a handy reference for your next ride with the tots in tow. Here’s to a better biking experience for the whole family!
