The first bike | Children's bikes from 3 years
Switzerland is a cycling country par excellence and getting around on a steel donkey is an integral part of our everyday lives in our latitudes. It is therefore not surprising that children aged between 3 and 4 are already out and about on children's bikes . When buying your child's first bike, you should consider the following:
- Are there support wheels ?
- Is there a chain guard ?
- Is the handlebar padded?
- Does the front brake / coaster brake work?
- Does the size fit? (12 / 14 inch wheels / saddle / handlebars)
- Can the child easily stand with his feet on the ground while sitting on the saddle?
Safety on the children's bike
We can all remember how difficult the first few meters on the bike seem before you finally get the hang of it. It takes a good sense of balance and speed to whizz through the neighborhood on a bike without training wheels. During the learning phase, your child may occasionally come into contact with asphalt or bushes. Therefore, observe the following safety rules:
- Supervise / support child
- wear a helmet
- Wear protectors
- Use space without traffic
For which body size are 12/14 inch children’s bikes suitable?
A rule of thumb is that 12 inch or 14 inch bikes are suitable for children with a body height of 90 to 100 cm. 16 inch children's bikes are recommended for children over 100 cm tall.
