Bikes for Young Riders

Buying a bike for the young riders in your life is a great way for everyone to enjoy cycling together, especially if you’re an avid cyclist yourself as it’s a way for them to share your passion too.
Purchasing the correct size bike for your child is of paramount importance. The correct size bike will be more comfortable and enable them to ride with maximum control and safety.
The below sizing charts provide bike sizing guidance for kids bikes, BMX bikes and Jump bikes. However, to ensure a perfect fit we always recommend talking to one of our experts over the phone on 0870 164 0112 or visit any of our stores where you will find staff on-hand to assist you in your bike selection.
For sizing charts for the other types of bikes we sell including adult bikes visit our bike sizing help page.
Every bike, whether big or small, goes through our pre-delivery inspection so there will be minimal assembly work for Santa to do!
