Christmas kids’ bikes deals: Early Rider, Specialized, Cannondale and more

Kids’ bikes can get expensive, as every parent discovers sooner or later, and there’s no such thing as n+1 with kids. Who wants them to grow out of two or more bikes when it’s hard enough to keep up with the progression from balance bike to 12in, 16in, 20in, 24in…

So that’s why the winter sales, love them or hate them, gives you the chance to tee up your child’s next bike and save some money. Don’t wait until the seatpost is past its minimum insert and the saddle-to-bar drop makes them look like a mini-Filippo Ganna – do it now!
