For optimal safety and cycling fun, it is important to have a well-fitting bicycle for your child. A frame that is too large can cause pain in the back and shoulders. In addition, this can be dangerous when your child has to stop and cannot properly reach the ground. A bicycle that is too small can cause knee problems, among other things. Fortunately, you can prevent this by choosing the correct size of the bicycle. Steering and pedalling should be easy and fun! This blog will help you to discover and learn how to choose the perfect bike size!
Your children grow, but unfortunately their bicycles do not. You quickly get lost between concepts such as: inches, hip height, frame size, etc. Purchasing a new bicycle every time is expensive and not environmentally friendly. BikeFlip solves this for you through a sustainable subscription for children's bicycles. Exchange your child's bike for a larger size effortlessly and at no extra cost whenever necessary.
