Some Tips Buying Bicycles for children

Well, we as parents would want a bike that fits and is safe to drive our children.Choosing a bike for a child may be is something tricky to do. Besides price, brand and quality, here are some things that maybe we could be a reference to buy a bike that is appropriate for our children.

1. The size of the bike would be the first thing that must be considered. That needs to remember is, the size of the bike is not determined from the high and low bike, but from the size of a bicycle tire itself. A good bike is capable of providing comfort for the child, to make sure that when choosing your child feel comfortable sitting in the saddle while his feet can touch the ground. Similarly, when he was pedaling, make sure your knees do not touch our kids bicycle handlebars when he was pedaling a bicycle, because in addition to discomfort, this can be annoying when bikes are used.

2. The second thing to note is that when a child sits in the saddle, make sure that your child can reach the handlebars easily, not too far and not too close.

3. Next is to pay attention to the material Alloy Wheels. Good material for the wheels are made of mixed metal (metal alloy) or aluminum, because when wet, brake pads can be more gripping in the two materials.

4. It is no less important, test the brakes work before choosing. If it is not possible to drive a bike for a moment, you can test the brakes by turning the tires and do the braking. Make sure the brake is working properly and no sound came out.

5. One more thing to note is part of the bike frame. Order a bike is not to be missed. Apart from having strong, bicycles must have a framework that is straight from front to back. You can find out by looking at the frame alignment of the front tire (in a straight position) to the rear, if the front tire and rear tire looked straight then spelled out the bike was worth buying.

6. Last is the attention to whether the bike is there a protective chain or not. It is also important that we deem leg pants or your child is not involved in it, or at least the chain does not pollute the pants leg or earlier.
