Best Christmas presents for cycling kids- the Cycle Sprog gift guide
With Christmas nearly upon us, we know that Santa and his helpers will soon be starting to choose all the bikes and cycling related presents that some very good (and lucky) children will be getting this year.
To help them out, we've selected some of our favourite cycling themed Christmas presents for children that we know any young Cycle Sprog would love to find in their stocking or under the tree come Christmas morning.

Playmobil cycling themed toys
Playmobil have a brilliant range of cycling themed toys which are perfect for imaginative play.
Suitable for ages 4 and over, but check each kit as age recommendations do vary.
Kids bikes
If Santa is being really generous and bringing a bike this year, then help him choose one that’s going to be fun and safe to ride.
The Kidvelo Rookie bikes are great for children who haven’t yet learnt to pedal.
They have a 12" balance bike for toddlers, and an 18" wheel balance to pedal bike conversion for older children.
They easily convert from balance bikes to pedal bikes (and back again), and are designed to make the learning process very easy.
Last day for ordering - 20th December
The B’Twin range at Decathlon are a great choice if you’re looking for a budget bike. They’re “proper” bikes, rather than “toy” bikes which we always warn parents to stay away from.
Each bike comes in several versions - the 100 is their entry level bike, and they go through to 900’s which are lighter weight and have better components, so there’s something for all budgets and ages.
At the other end of the price range are Frog Bikes, who make some of the best quality, lightweight kids bikes. Well worth the money, if you can afford it.
