TELL YOUR FRIENDS

This bike has everything a daily bike commuter needs to make riding easy and comfortable. It has an upright position this is great for young and tender wrists, and the trigger shifters make it simple to change gears. The bike comes with fenders, necessary for cyclists who ride in rain or shine, and the rear rack includes a clamp, very handy for clipping extra bags or sweaters on when little bodies get too hot.

WISH LIST

To make this bike perfect, it would be handy if it came with thinner tires. As is, they come with 26×1.5 mountain bike tires, which make road riding a little more difficult. Also, the bike does not come with a chainguard, meaning grease-stained pants.

IDEAL RIDER

This bicycle is ideal for young children who ride every day, whether to school, swimming lessons, or to the park with friends. It’s light enough to carry up a few stairs without a struggle, and getting up even steep hills is relatively easy. In flashy red, this bike will get you noticed, and the fenders and rear rack are essentials for all daily riders.

SUMMARY

Overall, this bike is great. It is lightweight, easy to ride, and includes all the accessories needed to make city riding easy for young cyclists, including a kickstand, keeping the frame relatively scratch-free with even the roughest riders. The upright positioning allows you to see everything happening around them, keeping them safe and aware of their surroundings whether on the road or along a natural trail. This is an excellent bicycle for young children on their way to an adult bike.
