How We Help Parents Everyday

We make picking the right bike easy!

We get it.

You’re ready to go beyond only thinking about color choice for your child’s next bike.

You’re ready to make sure your kiddo’s next bike gives them the confidence and stoke to get off the couch and explore the great outdoors – on two wheels!

Frame size, wheel size, type of bike, and yes, even color can make all the difference.

Buddy Pegs Pro Parent Tip # 1:

It's ok that you're new to this.
We'll get you up to speed.

Know The Lingo

Here’s the one thing you have to know…

Kid’s bikes are sized based on the diameter of the wheel, in inches.

Budddy Pegs Pro Parent tip # 2:​

Buy on the Birthdays.​

Your child outgrows everything faster than you could ever have imagined.

Why would bikes be any different?

Typically, if you buy a new bike on or around your child’s birthday, you will maximize the time it fits them.

If you wait a few months after their birthday to buy a bigger bike, you’ll feel like they out grew the bike faster than they outgrow their underwear.

Buddy Pegs Pro Parent Tip # 3: ​

Adjust to Fit

Buying the correct wheel size is only the beginning.

No matter where you shop, make sure the seat height, brake levers, tire pressure, and handlebars are actually adjusted specifically for your child.

Final adjustments make all the difference!
