Kids bike sizing/gears/recommendations
Hi,
My son is almost 5, he's pretty big & tall, he's never really taken to a bike but I'm trying to get him more interested in it now that he's a bit older. I've taken him to a couple of places to look at bikes but most of the ones they've showing him have gears, which I don't think he needs as he can't even ride/balance yet. He's about 122cm tall (48cm inside leg), he's probably at the very bottom of the scale for a 20" bike.
I was told that not all bike sizes are equal. He tried a 20" at one place and they said it was quite big and chunky compared to a yomo for example.biblooked at yomo 20 but it has gears.
Can anyone recommend a bike that's a good starter bike, without gears, I guess he needs a "small" 20" bike. Or should I just get one with gears?
Any help would be appreciated!
