My son just turn 4, he has a Strider bike that he loves and fully controls but it's time to get him one with pedals. I want something lightweight and good to do tricks at the skate park because that's what he likes and wants to do, but everything in retail shops is heavy and bad quality. What brand would you recommend for a kid that is starting?
Answer
Regrettably, you really can't size a bike by age... kids come in all shapes and sizes.
If you are looking for a quality bike with 16" wheels you may as well forget it. Manufacturers make the assumption that the bike will be ridden for no more than a year until the child grows out of it... BUT, if you don't mind spending the money you could have one built for you. A frame and fork would cost about $800-1500, and a build kit would have to be pieced together which would cost about the same. There are VERY few light/ high grade small bike parts so any adult sized parts would have to be modified one way or another.
If 2 or 3 grand is more than what you want to spend I suggest that you visit a Diamondback dealer. They do a reasonably good job with their kids bikes and you may be able to get away with around $150.

I raced our state age group champs this May, was amazed at how many kids showed up, with high end kid-size road bikes, in full top-level clothing, and they were fit and reasonably fast. I'm talking about 8 years all the way up to 15+.
