Kids Bikes and Junior Bikes
A kid’s bike is designed to take account of their smaller physical dimensions. While the most common sizes for children’s bikes are 12, 16, 20 and 24-inch wheel bikes, some companies also make 14-inch and 18-inch wheel sizes to bridge the gap between sizes. These two sizes are less common and parts or spares such as tyres and tubes may be harder to find. Most good bikes of each wheel size will be adjustable by raising the saddle and handlebars as the child grows.

Ages 13+
Once a child reaches their early teens, they’ll move to small adult cycles with 13-14 inch frame sizes. The type of bike (e.g. road bike, mountain bike, BMX etc) then depends on the child’s riding preferences. Our relevant bike guides have more information.
Please see our kids bike sizing table as a guide to help you choose the right size bike for your child. If you feel you’d like further help please contact us and we will do our best to help you make your choice.
Please note, we always advise the use of a proper cycling safety helmet for use when riding.
