Kids’ Bikes
Learning to ride a bike is a rite of passage for most kids, and many parents are also excited when it comes time to buy their child’s first bicycle. Of course, this might be a process that raises a lot of questions, since kids’ bikes are sized differently than bikes for adults, and the top bike brands for kids aren’t the same ones you might look at as an adult rider.
At Ajo Bikes, we are happy to introduce young riders to their first bikes. We also understand the unique safety and sizing requirements for young riders, so parents can rest assured that they are making a solid investment.
