Cycling for boys and girls: is there really a difference?
Many parents wonder if there is a big difference between boys' and girls' bikes. The answer? Not really! The most important thing is that the bike is comfortable and your child enjoys riding it. The difference is often in the appearance: boys' bikes usually have cool colors and sturdy frames, while girls' bikes often have a more elegant design. However, all bikes are technically suitable for both!
