What "things" do you mean? At an introductory level, there's nothing
(aside from wearing a sock on your right foot that can accomodate your
trousers ;-) that's cycle-specific; wearing comfortable clothes that are
suitable for the weather is all that's required. At an intermediate
level, when the child might be working up a bit of a sweat, then
suitable wicking layers might be introduced. Again, these aren't
cycle-specific. It's only when the cyclist (child or otherwise) is
doing, say, 20 miles or more at a time, that they might want to think
about things like padded shorts or *gasp* lycra shorts - and if they're
doing that sort of distance, I figure they're pretty well hooked ;-)
