Finding the perfect kids bike as a gift can be tough, but don't worry – we're here to help! The first step in choosing the right bike for your child is to properly size it. To do this, simply measure your child's inseam – that's the distance from their feet to their groin. This will give you an idea of the size of bike frame that you should look for. We include a handy size chart with all of our kids bikes listing to determine the appropriate wheel size for your child's inseam measurement. Here it is handy below.
Once you've got the right size, it's important to make sure the bike fits your child’s arm reach properly. Pay attention to the hand position – your child's hands should be able to easily grip the handlebars without having to stretch or strain. The handlebars should also be at a comfortable height for your child, allowing them to ride the bike with a natural, upright posture.
In addition to proper sizing and fitting, you'll want to look for a high-quality bike that's built to last. At ReCycles Bikes, we only carry bikes made from top-notch brands and with reliable components, so you can trust that the bike you choose will be able to withstand the rigors of everyday use.
If you're in downtown Frederick, be sure to stop by our store. We understand you may not be able to do custom fitting before Christmas if it’s meant to be a surprise. No Worries, bring the bike in for a complimentary fitting after surprising your child. This will give you the opportunity to make sure the bike fits properly and that your child is comfortable and safe while riding. So why wait? Visit us at ReCycles Bikes today and let us help you find the perfect kids bike as a gift!
