Mac-Ride Kids Bike Seat Review
The Mac-Ride is our favorite off-road child seat currently in the market today. It allows you to mount it to both carbon and metal frames and it's dropper post compatible. As mountain bikers we would struggle to give up these luxuries. The mounting of the Mac-Ride is very simple and you can take it on...
LittleBig Bike Review
A very unique design and application, the LittleBig Bike successfully does what others have struggled with, a top notch convertible balance-to-pedal bike. Balance Bikes have called into question the use of stabilizers/training wheels for good reason, they are simply a better way to learn. The LittleBig capitalizes on this by providing a single platform that...

Woom 2 Review
Like the other Woom bikes we have tried, the Woom 2 exceeded our expectations. Woom thinks of everything in this 14 inch wheel design and the details shine. Light weight and fantastic beginner/upright geometry make this an ideal pedal bike for 3 or 4 year olds learning to pedal. With such a bike, transitioning from...
Islabikes Beinn 24 Review
Islabikes exude quality and craftsmanship. This UK brand made its way to the US a few years ago and started the stampede of quality kids bike manufactures. They saw the need early and have flushed out a line of kids bikes that even the most discerning Mom and Dad bike snob can be amazed by....
Prevelo Alpha Zero Review
This Bike jumps to a top pick. Ticking all the boxes: reverse mounted V-brake, short reach lever, light alloy frame, sealed bearings, low stand over via a step through frame, and fantastic tires, any kid would excel on this little bike. We have put some serious miles on this little ripper of a bike and...
Yedoo TooToo Review
Some balance bikes border on the classification of a toy. The Yedoo Too Too alloy does not, this is a proper bike in the smallest of packages. Beautiful welds and packed full of cool features, this bike provides a superior ride to the foam tire toy bikes you see out there. Thanks to WeeBikeShop for...

Getting Kids Motivated to Ride Bikes
Every Winter I wonder if my kids will be as “stoked” to ride come Spring as they were the previous Fall. We are lucky enough to be able to ride all year round but the relentless rain and damp/cold days in the Pacific Northwest definitely cramp the desire to get on the bike. My kids...
