why you should buy a kids bike from us
We sell lots of kids bikes in varying sizes for all size kids. The first reaction we get is why are
they so expensive. Well mass merchants like Wal-Mart sell toys, not real nice kids bikes, so they
make them cheap and as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. We see them all of the time
broken and unusable, more of a throw away mentality than a durable serviceable bike. The kids
bikes we sell offer a lifetime warranty on the frame and a one year warranty on the parts*, most
mass merchant bikes have a 90 day or less warranty. We sell Trek kids bikes for kids 2 1/2 to
12 years old. The bonus is we accept trade-ins on any kids bike we've sold (just remember to teach
Junior to put his bike away when he's done so you'll maximize your trade-in value). You may think
the cheap bike you bought is a good deal but we've figured cost over time buying the mass merchant
special ends up more expensive than a real nice bike bought from us when you figure in the trade-in
value (sorry we won't take trade-ins of brands we don't sell). Come in and see what we offer, we can
size your child for the right size bike so they'll enjoy bike riding. When we don't put trade-ins into our
rental fleet we occasionally have used kids bikes, one caveat they only have a 30 day used bike warranty.
