When buying a child's bike it’s easy to forget that you’re not just buying a bike in miniature for a slightly smaller human, you’re buying a bike for a rider with completely different needs. There are lots of factors to consider when choosing the best kids' bike for your child and no matter how experienced you are as a rider there are bound to be some things you haven't thought of.
It’s not until you really watch children ride that you realize how different their needs are and how important it is to cater for them. An annoyance or slight inconvenience for an adult could easily turn into an experience that puts a child off riding their bike. And while many would forget that moment a few days later and jump back on, there’s always a danger that that moment sticks in their mind and stops them from riding.
