Ever find yourself juggling children and bicycles? I know I do! If you’re fed up with carrying bikes around then maybe the wheeli is the solution you’ve been looking for. It’s a great new product that was designed during the difficult time in 2020 when parents Lisa and Simon were no longer able to leave…

In this review, we’re looking at the Myklops rear view mirror, an innovative wrist mounted mirror allowing riders to keep an eye on what’s coming behind them or simply to keep an eye on the kids! Rear view mirrors may be standard on cars, but you don’t find many attached to the handlebars of bicycles.…

As your young cycling companion grows, one inevitably reaches the point where you want to start cycling with them, on your own bike. No more running after them, then waiting, then carrying a bike, then carrying a bike and a child! The issue during this transition phase is that they probably can’t cycle for long…

Keep little hands warm on a front bike seat this winter with the new Shotgun pogies

New brand Kidvelo has just launched their first bike, the Rookie 12, and we’ve got our hands on one to give it a once over! The brand may be new, but the owners have been in the balance bike game since the beginning, so we’re very excited to get our hands on this little bike.…

We’ve asked a range of different kids (and their parents) to try it out and give us…

We put Giant’s helmet, designed to “complement or clash” their ARX kids bikes, to the test

Strider, a name synonymous with balance bikes, has been doing pedal-less bikes for kids since 2007. From modest beginnings, Strider has grown into a global community, sold millions of balance bikes worldwide and have even hosted the Strider Cup World Championships! We were therefore really pleased when The Bike Club asked our 3 year old…

Hornit, the brand that has brought you the loudest bike horn around and the Airo balance bike also do helmets! Their ‘skate’ style helmet comes in no less than 13 different, highly entertaining designs. Rather than taking cues from the mountain bike or road world, the Hornit helmet comes from a style more commonly seen…
