Cycle Sprog

Cycle Sprog is a family cycling website, which was set up by husband and wife team Chris Jones and Karen Gee in 2012. As parents of two young boys, they had been through 5 years of transporting one and then two children by bike - firstly for fun at weekends, and later as a method of getting to school each morning, and doing away with the daily "find a car parking space within 2 miles of the school" challenge. The idea for Cycle Sprog emerged out of frustration at the considerable time spent online when one of the boys outgrew a way of being carried. "When we were moving from a trailer to a tag along and front seat combination, we were moaning about how little information there was online for parents who want to cycle with their children" says Chris. "When we realized just how much time we'd spent over the years looking up advice and finding places to buy seats, trailers, clothing and accessories the idea of creating a family cycling website aimed specifically for parents was born."
