Is a Black Friday deal on a kids bike really worth it?
Here at Cycle Sprog we only ever recommend "proper" kids bikes that are safe for your child to ride, and are built to last. You will probably see some really cheap kids bikes being discounted this Black Friday, but do be careful. You don't want tears on Boxing Day when you take the bike out for a ride and find it's already broken, or that it's just so heavy your child can't ride it, or that that (even worse) the brakes don't work properly.
If you think I'm exaggerating take a quick look at this article on why you shouldn't buy a really cheap kids bike.
We have another article that lists the cheapest kids bikes we'd recommend all year round - it's worth a look if you can't find what you want on this page.
We always recommend spending your money on a decent secondhand kids bike, rather than a substandard new one, if your budget is tight.
Need more help on buying a kids bike?
We know that sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming trying to find that perfect bike for your child - especially when stocks are low or timescales are tight.
Please don't get too stressed! We've got lots of articles to help you through the process to ensure you find the best bike for your child, plus our FREE BIKE BUYING GUIDE will help you record everything you need.

Overview of kids bike deal by wheel size
Raleigh Pop 18 - £229 £182.99
A 6-speed, lightweight aluminium frame that's easy to manoeuvre, plus front and rear V-brakes, mudguards, and tan wall tyres that make it a really stylish option.
The blue colourway is still in stock and looks really good!
Ghost Lanao 24 Essential Kids Bike reduced in the Black Friday sales
WAS £530 NOW £450
Ghost is a German bike brand (with an HQ in Bavaria) who aren't particularly well known here in the UK. We've not been able to test them yet, but looking at the specification of the Ghost Lanao 24 Essential Kids Bike you're getting a reasonably light weight (12.8kg) 24" wheel mountain bike at a decent price. For comparison a Frog 24" wheel MTB is 11.3kg so this is only a bag and a half of sugar difference in weight, but comes in at a £210 less.
One thing to note is that there's a double chain ring at the front, so your child will have to change gears with both hands - something that may complicate things if they're not used to this.
Chain Reaction Cycles, who have this kids mountain bike discounted in their Black Friday Sale are a reputable on-line bike retailer, who have a Trust Pilot score of 4.5 with 85% of reviews Excellent.

Wild Bikes
Various discounts across the range for Cyber Monday
Wild Bikes are a range of lightweight, well specified kids bikes, which are sold by Go Outdoors. Whilst we've not tested these bikes formally ourselves, we know various people who have bought them and been very happy with them.
They're specified for small legs and hands, with easy to operate brakes and gears, and come in a range of fun bold colours.
There are 5 bikes ranging in size from a 14" to 24" wheel so there should be something to suit every child.
Go Outdoors have a strange way of calculating their discounts, but regardless, these are some of the cheapest kids bike around this Black Friday.

Up to 15% off Forme kids bikes
Forme Bikes make a really good quality range of kids bikes. They're all named after locations close to their Derbyshire HQ.
The smaller single speed Cubley range is for younger riders and the Kinder range with gears is designed for older kids.
We've reviewed both the Cubley and Kinder and our young testers were impressed with how the bikes handled.
Is this a good Black Friday Deal? You can buy Forme kids bikes in your local bike shop, so we can't 100% guarantee you won't get it slightly cheaper elsewhere if you're happy to shop around. However for easy online shopping Tredz do free shipping for most of the UK mainland, which other online retailers sometimes charge for. They also have a 365 day returns policy if you change your mind.
Cube Acid 260 Disc 2023 - £649 £599
The Cube Acid 260 Disc is built with the same mechanically formed, double-butted, heat-treated 6061 aluminium tubes as the brand's adult range, featuring Agile Ride Geometry to support your child's skill growth and confidence. There's a replaceable derailleur hanger, an 80mm suspension fork, Shimano 16-speed gears, and powerful disc brakes.
Raleigh Pop 14
Reduced from £230 to £170
The Raleigh Pop 14 is a starter bike designed for children just starting out on their pedalling adventure. If you child hasn't really mastered pedalling yet, we'd recommend getting a balance bike first, rather than using the stabilisers on this bike, as it's a better way to learn to ride.
If they're ready to pedal though, the Pop 14 offers a cost effective way to get them started. Note that this bike will be heavier than an all aluminium 14" wheel bike, as it's got some steel components. But the frame is aluminium which means it will be much easier for your child to ride than an all steel bike.

At least 10% off all Frog Bikes at Tredz
Offer valid until 23:59 on 18th November 2022
If you're looking for a cheap Frog bike in time for Christmas, then check out Tredz pre-Black Friday sale. They've currently got an extra 10% off all Frog Bikes (which is in addition to any existing discounts they have on the range).
This offer only runs until 18th November 2022 - whether they replace it with further discounts we'll have to wait and see.
To get your 10% off visit the Tredz website and add the code BTEFROG10 at checkout.
35% off Vitus kids bikes
Tredz are one of our favourite bike retailers for several reasons:
- They stock a wide range of quality bikes
- They have a really handy "In stock" indicator so you don't have to spend ages wading through sold out items
- They have excellent customer service - evidenced by their Trust Pilot scores - if something goes wrong with your order you can actually get to deal with a human!
Sadly their Black Friday Spend and Save is not valid on kids bikes, but it is valid on some adult hybrid and sports hybrid bikes - plus turbos, clothing and other accessories.
They have XXS, XS and S size bikes listed, so these could be good options for teenagers who have outgrown the largest of the kids bikes.
It's a bit hit and miss which bikes it's valid on - Specialized are out of scope, and only certain "types" of bike such as hybrid and electric hybrid seem to work, so don't get overly excited about any Black Friday discount before you actually key in the code.
The Black Friday codes are as follows:
Spend between £100 and £250 - use code SAVE15 for a £15 discount
Spend between £251 and £500 - use code SAVE40 for a £40 discount
Spend between £501 and £750 - use code SAVE75 for a £75 discount
Spend between £751 and £1500 - use code SAVE125 for a £125 discount
Spend between £1501 and £2000 - use code SAVE250 for a £250 discount
Spend over £2000 - use code SAVE300 for a £300 discount
