are bmx bikes sized differently than kid bikes?

.

I saw a 20" bike at target but it was too small. Yet i search on the internet and they say 20" would be good.

Answer
20" is just the tire size. The way you find different sizes on a bmx bike is by the top tube. If your height is 5'4 to 5'10 get a bike with a 20 to 20.5 inch top tube if your taller then 5'10 look for a bike with a 20.5 or higher. Bikes from Target,Wal-mart,K-mart,etc. are heavy and not worth buying at all. And they only come in one top tube size. Check out www.Danscomp.com they have a great selection of bikes,and remember the your top tube size so you can have comfort while riding.

Good luck

Kids Bikes?

Want to buy my nephew a new bike for his birthday. He will be turning 4. What should I look for? I know he needs trainning wheels, but don't know what size to look for.

Answer
If he's small or average for his age he will need a 12" bike. If on the larger side maybe a 16". Both normally come with training wheels. Best thing is to head over to Wal Mart, Target, Toy r Us etc. and see how they fit. If it's a surprise you can always buy one and take it back if not right. Make sure to not get something he will grow out of by fall.

I would not take a 4 yo to a bike shop - most don't even carry kiddie bikes anyway.
