Как выбрать велосипед ребенку?
Without exception, all parents want their children to grow up healthy, develop harmoniously and just be happy and cheerful. Now many are faced with the problem of a sedentary lifestyle already in childhood, since most of the time kids spend indoors. Cycling from an early age contributes not only to physical development, but also to mental development. Therefore, it is necessary in every possible way to encourage the child's desire to ride a bicycle. And usually, if the bike is comfortable and lightweight on the go, they are happy to do it.

Therefore, the best way to decide on a bicycle for a child is to come to our VELOHIT store, st. Kirilovskaya, 168 and ride different models! They are all assembled and ready for use. Or give us a call and the consultants of our online store will advise on several models that are right for your baby.
What you should look for when choosing a children's bike:
- The child should reach the ground with his toes while sitting on the saddle (for safe operation).
- He must pedal confidently, placing his foot with the middle of the foot, not with the toe. Do not roll over to the side while driving.
- The kid should get under way on his own (provided that he already knows how to drive).
You, for your part, should check if the wheels spin easily, if there is a crunch in the bushings and the carriage, if the brakes are quickly applied.
