Buy a Bike That Fits

Don’t buy a bike that you can grow into!

You should be able to put the balls of both feet on the ground when you’re sitting on the bike seat. If you buy a “boy’s” bike, you should be able to lift the front wheel 2 inches off the ground while standing flat-footed and straddling the bar.

The handlebars should be easy for you to reach.

Ask your mom or dad to have your brakes checked every year by a certified bike store.
