There’s nothing quite like the joy of watching your child ride their first bike. At The Cycle Room, we offer a fantastic selection of kids’ bikes suitable for toddlers through to teenagers. They bring high-quality features found in their adult models, trickled down to their kids' range to offer fantastic value for money. For beginners, we have Balance Bikes designed to help your little one take their first "steps" into cycling, and for those ready to pedal, we offer kids’ bikes with wheel sizes ranging from 12”, 16”, 20”, 24” and 26”. These bikes are built with lightweight yet strong and durable components to keep your child safe.

What size bike does my child need?

Most parents use a combination of age and height to find the right bike size for their kids.

Look out for the size chart that comes with the bike, if you find that your child’s height falls into two bike sizes, the smaller size should be selected for a "beginner rider", a child new to riding or who has limited experience. The larger size should be selected for an "advanced rider", a child who knows how to ride, mounts and dismounts the bike without hesitation, takes turns and pedals with confidence and is comfortable with braking.

What style of bike is best for my child?

It all depends on how far your child has come in their cycling journey.

12” and 16” bikes are all about teaching your child the fundamentals of riding. Once your child graduates into 20”, 24” and 26” wheels, there are more options with respect to bike type. For kids who love riding pavement that are primarily paved, but may include gravel paths, a kids hybrid bike is a great choice. If instead it’s the call of adventure or the simple smell of dirt they love, a kids and mountain bike could be a great choice to ride any trail, and learn the skills they need to be confident, skilful cyclists.

What’s the deal with gears and brakes?

Not all riders need gears!

They definitely don’t always need gears, especially at first. A single-speed drivetrain is simple, easier for kids who are just learning to ride to focus on their balance and learning how to safely ride the bike. (No exposed shifting mechanisms also means less things to bend or break in a fall). As your young riders progress, they will likely eventually want a bike with gears. Whether to help them keep up with the family or make it easier to get to friends’ houses, geared drivetrains help kids do more with their bikes.
