Spring has sprung a little early this year and we at IronKids are loving all the new 2 wheeling kids in the neighbourhood!! 

Our youngest daughter has been working hard for 2 weekends now and finally mastered her big girl bike, along with 3 other youngsters on our street.  We just LOVE seeing the happiness on these kids faces as they whiz along the sidewalk! 

Staying active is fun and kids prove it everyday!  We hope they inspire parents everywhere to get on their bikes and into their running shoes!  Check out your local runs and races.  Many are for charity, can be done as a family and are non competitive.
