CHOOSING THE RIGHT BIKE from Adventure cycles
 

Rough Frame Size Guide

Which Size Bike Does My Child Require? We retail 800 to a 1000 cycles a year, so we do have a lot of experience when it comes to fitting children and adults to the right bike. Children's bikes are generally measured by wheel size, rather than by frame size. Remember, children do grow very quickly and you need to take this into consideration when buying a child's bike. However, if you buy a bike that is simply too big for your child, you will compromise your child's safety and ultimately discourage your child from cycling. Age of Child Wheel Size 2 to 3 Years 12 3 to 4 Years 14 4 to 5 Years 16 5 to 6 Years 18 6 to 9 Years 20 10 to 13 Years 24
