As avid Mountain Bikers. Coach Brian and Coach Chewy are always looking at Bike related topics and websites.
One of our favourite is our friends over in the U.K. at G.M.B.N. ( Global Mountain Bike Network ).

This comprehensive channel covers all types of bike related video content including technical tips, skills edits, equipment comparisons and reviews, plus buying guides like in this instance with our kid’s bikes.
In the video below, Neil Donoghue presents our Kid’s range in its entirety.
He gives the specifics of each model and explains how to choose an appropriate bike model to suit the little one, whatever they want to do on it.
“The first thing to remember is that riding a bike should be fun and it’s the same with the kids. The bikes shouldn’t be a struggle to ride. They shouldn’t be heavy, too big or have adult sized components, or even heavy gearing on them. If they are, it could mean your kids aren’t going to enjoy riding as much as they otherwise would. This is what COMMENCAL kids bikes offer, with specific components on all models and sizes.”
“Age doesn’t determine the size of bike, height does, just like it does for the adults. Getting the right size is important of course, so that your child can ride confidently and comfortably. For this reason, COMMENCAL has designed their range with different sized wheels, so you can choose from 12” bikes up to large models with 27.5’’ wheels for teenagers.”
