Children's Bikes
Children's bikes are sold in a lot of places, but the best ones come from bike shops.
For your child, that means their bike will be easier to pedal and easier to operate; for you,
"no assembly required" and fewer visits to the bike shop for repairs.
These are the kind of bikes that you can pass down from child to child. They last for years. Then, when you're finally done with them, you can sell, donate, or trade them in to us for the next size up. Plus, with bike shop bikes, besides the expert assembly, you get free break-in adjustments for six months. Now that's a deal that's hard to beat.
Here's what we carry:
NOTE: With the wide variety of colors available in children's bikes, what we have on hand varies. If we don't have the exact one you want in stock, we can usually get it in a few days.
Raleigh Talus 2.0
(For ten & eleven year olds)
$325
The Talus is our offering for that little guy (or girl) that's too big for a childrens bike, but not quite tall enough for an adult bike. We carry the Talus in the 12" frame size only, although we can order any size. Think of it as an extra small adult bike. It's a good value, and it's a bike you can pass around the family as the kids grow in and out of it.

24" Kids Bikes
(For eight & nine year olds)
Raleigh Mountain Scout
$325
The Mountain Scout is our flagship of 24" bikes. The light weight aluminum frame with its low stand-over height, lets kids get into this size earlier, and gives them a little more growing room. It's a rugged bike with it's front suspension, it has lots of gears to make it easy to pedal, and hand brakes for quick, safe stopping. (Also available in dark silver)

Seven gears make it easy to pedal, but simple to operate, and the ridgid fork gives it a smooth, responsive ride. (Also available in white/pistachio.)

Jamis Laser 20
$215
The Laser 2.0 features a light weight aluminum frame, single speed, foot brakes, and an auxiliary rear hand brake.

Raleigh Atomic FW
$235
Like the Laser 20 above, the Atomic FW sports an aluminum frame, which makes it very light-weight, but it uses a hand brake instead of a foot brake. The benefit here is that your child can still stop without having the pedals in just the right position, or for that matter, have their feet on the pedals at all. We thought that was a pretty neat idea. Add the good looks to the equation, and you've got a bike that can't be beat.

The Hawaii is one beautiful 20" girls bike. It's the sister of the boys Rat Rod above, only more demure. (Also available in baby blue.)
