Choosing The Right Bike
Bikes For Growing Riders
Learning to ride should feel exciting, not frustrating, which is why correct sizing and setup matter so much with kids bikes. At Grafton City Cycles, kids bikes are chosen to suit different ages, heights and confidence levels, helping young riders feel balanced and in control from the start.
Based in Grafton, we support families across Grafton and surrounds with kids bikes designed for safe handling, comfort and durability. Options include first pedal bikes, step up sizes and sturdier designs for confident riders ready to ride further. With over 40 years of combined industry experience and a fully qualified bike mechanic on site, guidance focuses on fit, adjustment and safety rather than pushing children onto oversized bikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to buy a bike a child can grow into?
Buying a bike that is too big often makes riding harder and less enjoyable. Children gain confidence faster on bikes that fit properly right now. While growth is important, comfort and safety should come first. It is usually better to size correctly and adjust or upgrade later.
Do kids bikes need regular servicing?
Kids bikes benefit from regular checks as children tend to ride hard and may not notice issues. Brake adjustment, chain lubrication and bolt checks help keep bikes safe. Regular servicing also helps catch wear early, especially during growth spurts when bikes are adjusted frequently.
When should a child move to the next bike size?
Signs include difficulty pedalling comfortably, knees rising too high or the bike feeling cramped. Growth patterns vary, so visual fit and riding comfort are better indicators than age alone. Adjustments can sometimes extend use before a size change is needed.
Confidence & Control
Why The Right Fit Matters
A correctly sized kids’ bike makes learning easier and riding more enjoyable. When a bike fits properly, children can balance more easily, reach the brakes comfortably and stop with confidence. Lightweight frames reduce effort, while simple gearing allows riders to focus on steering and pedalling. A good fit also encourages longer rides, helping kids build coordination and confidence naturally. Safety features such as dependable brakes and appropriate tyres improve stability and control. Small adjustments as children grow can extend how long a bike remains suitable, but starting with the right size is key. A bike that matches a child’s current ability helps riding stay fun, comfortable and stress-free.
