It’s like anything with kids and activities – if they take to it in a big way I will invest in good kit, before that it’s basic stuff. (must be my inner Yorkshireman coming through!)
The eldest did take to riding so I built him a bike around my old custom ally frame, then upgraded it bit by bit.
The youngest is just getting back into it so he is on a Decathlon bike with a few extras.
Both bikes are rigid so I’m hoping that they will learn to ride them before they rely on boingy stuff.
They are heading off together over the hills today to meet family in Eyam so something must be working.
The worst part of kids/youth bikes is that they are incredibly heavy and blessed with suspension forks that would beat bombers to death.
