My nine year old took to the bike straight away. Having outgrown a hand me down single-speed bike, she needed a larger bike of her own with gears. It was such an easy adjustment that only a few days after getting, she took part in a neighborhood race as part of the Watsonville Criterion. The gears allowed her to get up the hill with ease and took 3rd! She couldn’t have been more proud.
Got this bike a while ago for my daughter and she loves it. It's lighter than other similar sized bikes we tried. At the moment we have the saddle close to its lowest position, so the bike should last a few years before it's too small.
