How to choose?
When choosing a bike for both children and adults, it is important to consider certain factors.
- Height. The bike must be sized for your height, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the pedals.
- Adjustment. When purchasing a children's model, this criterion should be especially taken into account. Children grow up quickly, so in order not to buy a new model for the next season, you need to choose an option that is easily adjustable in height. With older models, it's a little easier, but if the bike will be used by several family members of different heights, then adjustment is important.
- Appointment. When choosing a bike, it is important to decide for what purpose you need it. The market offers urban, tourist, sports and walking options.
