2011 Holiday Gift Guide - Bikes From Balance Bikes Canada

Now that it's November that means that the holiday season is just around the corner. It's time to start focusing Christmas. Christmas is about children. The look on a child's face on Christmas morning when they open their presents is the most precious thing in the world and something that will always make your child's face light up on Christmas morning is having a brand new shiny bicycle under the Christmas tree.

Balance Bikes Canada is a great place to find that perfect bicycle for your child. They carry an amazing selection of the best wood and metal balance bike for toddlers and kids. They carry well known and popular brands including Strider, Skuut, Bugabike, Hobby Bike, Kazam, Kiddimoto, KinderBike, Glide Bikes, and many others.


One of the newest, and I'm sure going to be one of their most popular bikes is the Strider™ PREBike - Purple. Designed for children, ages 1 - 5, the Strider™ PREbike is lightweight, easy to control and features an adjustable seat and handlebars to accommodate a growing child. Most importantly, the Strider teaches your child balance, coordination and develops glittering confidence.
And the Strider is steady, stable and safe. At the first feeling of instability, your child will instinctively place his feet securely on the ground. So there are no "tricycle tip-overs" or "training-wheel wobbles" that stir-up a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES:

Super lightweight at less than 7 pounds.
Unique frame design has integrated footrests for gliding.
Puncture-proof all-terrain tires with sealed bearings and 5/16" steel axles. Tires never need inflating!
Durable welded steel frame and handlebars.
1 year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Adjustable handlebar and seat height fits riders from 30" to 44" tall. The saddle height adjusts from 11" to 16" from ground.
Optional XL seat post increases maximum seat height to 19 inches for taller riders.
Paint certified to be significantly below the CA Prop. 65 limits for heavy metal content, including lead.
Optional foot brake available.
Low center of gravity and both feet on the ground make the rider feel more in control.
No need for tippy training wheels on a tall, heavy pedal bicycle or a tricycle with terrible pedal leverage ratios.
Rider weight limit of 50 pounds.

As a mother of two I know the difficulties that sometimes comes with teaching your child how to ride a bike. This new bicycle is the perfect solution to teaching your child how to ride a bike. It allows them to get used to the two wheel feel and learn how to keep their balance.

Not only does Balance Bikes Canada have an amazing selection of bike for younger kids, but they also have bikes for older kids.

The Go Glider is designed for school age learners, 5 - 10 years, who know that learning to ride a bike should be fun! It has a16" wheel glider. This "Go" model is designed for kids aged 5 to 10 years old who have an inseam of at least 18". Also great for kids with learning disabilities. The Go Glider is one of the few affordable balance bikes that will accommodate older children who still need or want the security and fun that a balance bike offers. Many 6 and 7 year olds are still not riding pedal bikes, and by now their fear of riding has usually heightened. It is also hard to start learning to ride a bike on a 16 inch pedal bike because these bikes are bulkier and heavier which makes it even harder for this age group. That is why the 16 " Go glider is perfect - weighing in at only 10 pounds (about 1/3 the weight of a pedal bike) and easy to handle without pedal, chains or sprockets to get in the way. The bike also looks so much like a pedal bike with foot pegs for gliding once balance is established and a hand brake which adds to the appeal. The Go Glider includes most accessories than any other bike! Includes hand-brake, quick release and foot stand!

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

Sized for ages 5-10 with inseam of 17.-25"; child's weight up to 125 lbs.
Lightweight at 10 lbs. for safer maneuvering
Durable, alloy frame featuring mountain bike geometry
Quick release seat clamp allows easy height adjustments from 17.-25"
Durable 16" EVA foam tires never need air
