Children's cycling is experiencing a boom

Which is good news. Opportunities are expanding, equipment and education are improving. And the children's bikes themselves are also improving.

Geometry + weight In addition to the geometry and shape of the frame, weight is the most important aspect of a children's bike, even for parents who load it into a car or carry it to the floor of the house. If a 16-pound child rides a thirteen-kilo wheel, it costs him an effort as if an eighty-pound man rode a seventy-kilo bike. "That's why we produce so-called superlights, we got 5.3 kilograms in the 16-inch bike," points out Roman Blažek.
