Boardman Bikes have a range of adult bikes built for going on two wheeled adventures called the ADV. In winter 2022 they decided to add a smaller version - the Boardman JNR ADV 26" - to allow smaller people to come along too.
The Boardman ADV 26" shares much of the same specification as its 700c counterparts. They claim that a triple-butted aluminium frame and alloy fork provide a stable and confidence-inspiring ride whilst offering maximum versatility with luggage and mudguard mounts. The Vee Speedster multi-surface, mid-tread 1.5" tyres are a fast rolling option for tarmac and light trail use, and can be swapped to something more aggressive, should your adventure demand it.
Ergonomic drop handlebars and cable disk brakes are designed with comfort and control in mind, and with a wide range ratio nine-speed cassette, the ADV 26" is well worth considering for your bike backing and gravel riding adventures.

Wide, fast-rolling tyres reduce bumps and vibration to build confidence, and as this grows and the speeds increase, the adjustable reach brake lever is designed for tiny hands to learn to brake (they'll wear through their shoe soles before they reach this stage).
A carry handle in the back of the balance bike-sized saddle makes the bike easy to carry when your little one has had enough biking for one day.
