Arthur started the bike with the draisienne (from 4 years), bike 14 inches (from 4 years) and a bike in 16 inches (from 5 years). At 6 years cycling in 16 inch starts to be a fair bit: it churns in the vacuum for walks and suddenly gets tired in vain.
Conclusion: Arthur needs several speeds. Our experience
speed hub has convinced us that this is the solution for a child on a bike: Gear change stopped to allow it to restart on a "small" and not speed derailment of the chain.
A rapid cycles and vendors is the cold shower: it takes at least 250 € for a bike with this option! Suddenly, there is reluctance to invest in a 18-inch saw the expected duration of use (1 year and a half?). And 20 inches is not it too big?
The solution will come from Cycles Spirit who offers us a great opportunity: a bike Columbus FIPS 20-inch dream with all the options for 120 €:
hub 3 speed, V-Brakes + coaster, hub dynamo, tail light connected to the dynamo with battery (stays on even when stationary) threshold low frame, tires with reflective stripe, luggage rack, mudguards, kickstand ...
short everything you need for cycling in the city and safely!
For the size of the bike, adjusting the saddle the lowest threshold and using the bottom frame, Arthur had no trouble adjusting to his big bike.
Since our long walks! And for short bursts of fatigue or when traffic is too dense, the FollowMe can take over.
