Buying Kids' Bicycles In Singapore

 


Kids should get their bicycles in Singapore to practise bicycle riding. It would be good for kids to have an enjoyable sense of great outdoor adventure as long as the weather in Singapore permits. 

When buying a bicycle in Singapore, there are many factors that parents should help to look out for to help their kids ride well. The best kid's bicycle is able to fit the stature of the kid by adjusting the bike seat height and one that is not difficult to handle, while also ensuring that safety is observed. 

Besides being safe and easy to use, another factor to look out for when buying kids' bicycles in Singapore is the affordability. Singapore has many bicycle stores even in the shopping malls, with a very extensive range of bicycles with all kinds of colours, models and other aesthetic factors they can look out for when they select. Sometimes sales and discounts occur and parents can check out the offers from online store ads or from their emails when buying their kids' bicycles in Singapore.

Choosing a kid's bicycle is not without the following equipment that is mandatory for inspection - the handlebar (flat or BMX style), wheels, bottom bracket and the hand brakes (which are on the handlebars). After all, a kid's bicycle is not complete without the above basic parts. There is also a simple checklist to determine if the bicycle fits the kid with the right size:
- At least a 3cm height clearance between the foot of the child (lowest point of kid's body) and the main top tube of the frame of the bicycle
- A clearance of 10cm if bike is BMX or trekking type (mountain bike)
- Handbrakes to ensure safety and they must be within reach on the handlebars
- A kid when seated must have arms slightly at bent position when holding the handlebar grips and the knees must not touch the handlebars
- The seat must be level when kid is seated and it must not be angled

For a start, it is more advisable for parents to consider buying kids' bicycles with 2 extra training wheels that are designed to provide stability and confidence to the kids' riding abilities, unless they have been trained before. These 2 wheels make the bicycle a 4-wheel bicycle and they help in child biking safety for beginners.

Besides buying the main bicycle itself, do consider the accessories like the helmet and gloves for additional safety precautions. They are also available in the market in Singapore.

There are many types of kids' bicycles, which range from the toddler bike to the trekking bikes that are suitable for kids. It is important for parents to know the objectives of the kids' bicycle riding. The bicycles must suit the different objectives such as outdoor sport leisure, commuting, long distance riding or for any other purpose.

Unlike the present days, the balance bicycle was not made for children. A German engineer by the name of Karl Drais is the invention pioneer. He made a bicycle with 2 wheels attached to the wooden frame. In fact at that time, the modern bicycle which you commonly see in the streets today was not even invented yet.
