1970's Chopper, by RALEIGH 

A limited edition remake of the original including Sturmey-Archer 3-speed transmission, lots of chrome, 16" front & 20" rear wheels, and the zippy handling enjoyed by youthful minds 30 years ago.

   
QUALITY Kids' Bikes

Fun and fit for ages 3 to 13.  Yes, "fun", as quality kids' bikes are more fun (and easier) to ride, last up to 3 times longer, and are easy to adjust with child's growth

   

HARO F3

Durable.  Alot of bike for the money.  Thicker axles, more spokes per wheels, reinforced frame joints, stronger CroMo-steel parts.  The Bob Haro heritage is built into every model.

The chart below explains the difference between Department / Toy stores verses Bike Shops. Department store bikes have one advantage over quality bicycles... price.  You can get a bike for less than $100.   That's where the advantage ends.  If your objective is to save money, then a bicycle shop bike is still cheaper.  Once you roll your new heavy, poorly adjusted, non-warranted "bike" home, then the real expense begins.  The first stop will come when you have to take the monster to the local bike shop to have it adjusted properly.  The local shop will not do this for free as they do with the bicycle you buy from them.  The next expense will come steadily as you bend and break the various components on the bike.  This isn't a prediction, it's a guarantee.  Bicycle shops repair department store bikes 10-1 over any other quality bike.  The parts are made cheaply and of sub-par materials so they can attract the first time buyer with a low price.

Bike shop bicycles are designed and built with quality materials and components meant to last a lifetime.  That is why reputable bike manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on their bikes.  Bicycle shops are required to offer professional assembly and service.  Our bikes are not assembled by stock boys, but by real cycling enthusiasts.  We only sell bicycles, and so we know them inside and out.  If you want a toy, go to department / discount store; if you want a bicycle, come see us.

YOUTH HELMET LAW…..

A person under the age of 17 years is required to wear an approved helmet while riding a bicycle, riding in a child seat, or riding on a trailer. The law applies to any bicycling within a public area. It is recommended that the helmet be properly adjusted to ensure proper fit and correct placement on the head at all times.
