Discount Store Bicycles for Kids

Many parents purchase a Discount Store bicycle for their child reasoning that their child seems to destroy any bike he/she gets, so why purchase them a quality bike.

Parents, do not be upset at your child if they break their new Discount Store bicycle within a couple of weeks, because this is not uncommon. We have often seen brand new discount store bicycles broken within a week of purchase. Often this is due to poor assembly, but most often because the parts and materials are just plain cheaper to the "bike shop" bike. Often these broken bikes can't be repaired, or the cost of repair greatly exceeds the cost of the bike when new.

We often hear the stories of parents purchasing 2 to 3 bikes per year for the youngster. However after finally purchasing a quality bicycle from a bicycle shop, they are still riding the better bike 2 to 3 years later. Not only does it make economic sense to purchase the better bike, but it keeps department store "disposable bikes" out of the landfills.

Also, a quality bike just rides better. If they are learning to ride, they will learn faster, and enjoy riding more.

Often, a safe, quality bicycle purchased from a bicycle shop can last through several children and will be going strong for your grandchildren (although it may need new tires by then).

We guarantee that you will be satisfied and impressed with the durability and quality of any kids bicycle you purchase from us!
