What type of bicycle is your child riding?

Eagle-Ladybird:

Jennifer, those are road bikes, and they come in different components. BnB carries high end bikes (Storck, Zullo and others).


You kid is probably lookng for either a MTB or hybrid. There are other good brands ranging from S$250 - S$500.

I hv no idea what a road bike/MTB/hybrid is. Think wld go back to those neighbourhood shops n pay for delivery charge. At least still within my budget. Anyway it is just for leisure cycling around the estate.

Thank you all for the sharing

He is 7yrs old ..soon we will need a bigger bike so im thinking of raising the seat first. any recommendations for a good and lightweight bike?

Yes, raising the seat tube, and saddle position will accomodate growth, to a certain limit. Adjusting the reach of the handle bar will also help. Generally aluminium kids bikes are much lighter, and easier for them to handle. My son rides a Trek MT20 - no complain

hi,


just to share, i bought a 14\" for my 3yr old as the 12\" looks just nice and indeed, though the 14\" is a wee bit bigger than her, now 3 mths on, the 14\" is just nice for her..

i bought it at $80 from a bicycle shop in Hougang.. auntie mentality tot bicycle shops' bicycles are beta quality than departmental stores one.. have asked around amk and hougang areas.. some charges me $10 for a bell or $8 for a basket.. this shop throws all in for us..

giant once in a while will have promotion on foldable bikes. the last time was just 2 weeks back, just below $100 each. looks quite decent, but don't expect too much since the price is low.

Thanks tankee I will check it out

I went there last evening. They are selling 2 model, smaller one at about $60 and the bigger one at about $70+.

training wheels can be purchased separately.

What is the weight for this 2 bicycles? Will it be too heavy for a petite 5 yo?
