Buying a kids bike can be quite a confusing experience – especially if it’s your first time.  Do you buy new or secondhand, or what about a long term lease?  Which brands will your child enjoy riding? And how much should you spend?

Cycle Sprog is here to help demystify the process for you – why not browse our advice articles and then take a look at our recommendations in the correct size bike for your child.

Take a moment to GRAB YOUR FREE KIDS BIKE BUYING CHECKLIST which will help you record all the information you need to find the perfect bike for your child. 

If your child is too small to ride their own bike there’s a great range of options you can choose to get out cycling with them.

Whether you’re looking for a child’s bike seat, trailer, cargo bike or a way of pulling their bike behind yours we’ve got loads of advice to help you get out there and enjoy the ride.

A cycle helmet can help keep your child safe on their bike, but there’s more to it than just plonking any old helmet you find lying around on their head.

It is really important to make sure it fits properly, meets the appropriate safety standards and is being worn properly.

Cycling is a great activity for all families to enjoy together.  If your child has additional needs there are an increasing number of options available to help you on your way.
