What size of bike??????

Jose R

I have a 4 year old girl I was wondering what the proper size of bike I should get

Answer
Kids bikes are denoted by wheel size (unlike adult bikes) Take her to a bike shop (or sporting goods store but NOT kmart/walmart/target unless you want her to take biking)

A 12" is usually the smallest size then 16" 20" and 24". It all depends on how tall she is. You have to have her sit on a bike to see if it fits her right. Not all bikes are the same size even if they are listed as the same size. Different maufactuers do things differently. She is probably somewhere around a 16" size now thought. That said, remember she will outgrow it really soon. If she can sit on a 20" comfortably (even with the seat down pretty low) then that would be a bike she could grow in to.

What's wrong with kids bikes these days?

When I was a kid, I rode my bike everywhere, school, piano lessons, work, college classes, the store. Aside from a tune up here and there and having to top off the air in my tires I never had any trouble. My kids are a different story. They ride their bikes to school ( 0.9 miles) and not a day goes by without a popped tire, lost chain, broken brake cables you name it. "Mommy, can you drive us today my bike....?" is a chorus I hear every day. My husband fixes them only for them to be messed up the next day. Their bikes are not top models but I think descent (Giant, Specialized, Huffy). Why all this trouble? I think it is unreasonable. Any bike experts can tell me what I'm missing?

Answer
Send your husband to bicycle repair school. Most bike shops offer classes. You really have to know preventative maintenance and what to look for in the mass produced bikes.
Get a spare bike or two to keep those kids peddling off to school - that's awesome these days.
