I did this last September with my 2 grandsons aged 8 & 7 who were really looking forward to it unfortunately when they got their bikes they only had hand brakes and both boys were used to foot brakes so they didn't get very far on the bikes. I felt it was not fsafe for them to be riding so they ended up riding in the support vehicle.
If I had realised beforehand that the bikes didn't have foot brakes I would not have done the ride. It still cost me the full amount for each of the boys also.
So if not confident riders I would NOT look to do this with your children.
