I am going to introduce a variety of kids bicycles in this short guide. Read through to narrow down your options and pick the right one for your kid.
First one is the tricycle, this standard of three wheeled kids bicycle has been around for a while, not only where they first built for kids, but adults as well. Lately there is a new trend coming up in tricycle category of kids bicycles. Extreme off road bikes with one wheel in the front are hitting the market. Moreover, the pedals are located up high, so you have to use your hands to make the bike move. If you are in the market to buy something in the tricycle market, you will have a wide selection to choose from.
Next is the two-wheeler. These bikes are anywhere from 12 to 24 inches, but may be sold with or without training wheels. There is a time to move to two wheelers from tricycles though. This is when you feel that your child is ready to start learning to ride a two-wheeler after having spent good number of years in those mini kids bicycles. This is also the time when you introduce your child to the safety aspects of riding a bicycle. Helmet is a must at this age, because there is going to a lot of falling going on. It is also the time when a lot of these kids bicycles are going to come with a overwhelming set of features. You are going to have so many choices, from bikes with no pedals, called coasting cruisers, to bikes that have a full suspension. You are also going to have BMX racing bikes, freestyle bikes, and all kids of other kids bicycles.
The last option is the 26-inch plus bikes which are meant for sturdy use such as climbing mountains bike range type bikes. This category has some of the widest range of models and is known for the area of pedal power. The classic mountain bike is a solid choice, but now the bicycle manufacturers are starting to introduce models like the street cursing bike, the rough road bike, that has knobby tie for rough roads, bit not off road.
Now that we have bikes with full suspension, disk breaks, light weight frames, and so many other options it is hard to list them all out. Just remember, whatever kids bicycles you choose, make sure that you are getting the right one for your kid.
