Rationale 1: Children with hemophilia should be encouraged to participate in non-contact sports activities. Bicycling is an excellent option, and is recommended, along with swimming. However, the child should always use kneepads, elbow pads, and a helmet when participating in any physical sport.
Rationale 2: Biking is an acceptable sport as long as protective equipment is worn, and the child should be encouraged to make choices when possible.
Rationale 3: Discouraging a child from joining a club would not foster growth and development.
Rationale 4: Participating only in the social aspects of the club would not encourage physical activity.
