Abstract

In order to study which factors are important in children's cycling an experiment with 144 children between the ages of 5 and 13 was carried out in which skills in manoeuvring, accelerating and braking were tested. The age of the children was the most important factor in determining their cycling ability. The frequency of their cycling and the design of their bicycles were highly important as well. It was only the 13-year-olds who could manage all of the tests well.
