Cruise Into Creativity With These 10 Bike Coloring Pages
Maybe you’re teaching your kid to ride a bike. Or perhaps they long-ago ditched the training wheels are are crazy about cruising around the cul-de-sac. Who knows? You might be a pro cyclist in the making. No matter what brought you here, it’s safe to say someone in your household is going to enjoy unwinding with this collection of bike coloring pages. Not only do they speak to one of your favorite pastimes, but they’re also full of nostalgic feels. Who doesn’t have fond memories from growing up of pedaling around on an old Huffy or Schwinn?
Another perk of these free printables? They say that coloring is good for your mental health. So, while it may seem silly, taking the time to sit down and color inside the lines (or outside, you do you) is actually worth it. And it’s something you can do with your kids, too, making it a win-win situation for everyone. According to the Cleveland Clinic’s clinical psychologist Scott M. Bea, PsyD, the act of coloring relaxes your brain because it refocuses attention to the paper in front of you. “In this way, it is very much like a meditative exercise,” he says.
For some people, coloring is even more relaxing because you really can’t mess it up — any mistake you make is just part of the process. Basically, the stakes are low when it comes to coloring, yet the rewards are high. In fact, once you finish these bicycle beauties, you might just want to cruise on over to our other sports-themed collections, including soccer coloring pages, basketball coloring pages, football coloring pages, hockey coloring pages, baseball (and softball) coloring pages, and gymnastics coloring pages.
