A bike ride is a great way to get your entire family outdoors for fresh air and quality time. It allows you to explore new neighbourhoods or parks, relieve stress and teach kids balance and coordination (all while wearing off pent-up energy!). Basically, biking is a win-win every time you go for a spin. And whether your gang is into trail riding or city cruising, or you’re planning to introduce the little one to two wheels, we’ve got the best bike for you.

Children’s bikes have come a long way, baby. All of the styles and features available to adults are open to pint-size riders, too. Plus, there are balance bikes and bikes with training wheels, for the littlest cyclists.
If you’re trying to decide between a men’s bike or a women’s bike, know that women’s bikes tend to have smaller frames (best for shorter people), narrower handlebars (to fit narrower shoulders) and different seats. Does that mean women have to buy women’s bikes and vice versa? Absolutely not! Buy the bike that you like and fits your frame and you can swap out the seat later if necessary.

As far as starter bikes go, this one checks all the boxes: sturdy steel frame, junior-sized everything, from pedals to handlebars, and removable training wheels. But if your little one is more into pink and blue than green and black, check out the Movelo Razzle!
