Kids bikes

...incidentally, also just got hold of a beater for my daughter so she does not have to take the expensive new bike somewhere it might get nicked or trashed, so she will also have a 1968 16" wheel rod brake 'Mayflower' british built bike, which will now be my next restoration project to keep me from getting bored.

I learned to ride on this bicycle. I loved it.

****To all who have bought an Islabike for their nippers ...***

On no account let your kid's friends ride your kid's Isla without some gentle rolling and stopping to get used to the very good brakes..., if they normally a BSO with shite brakes, they are very likely to throw themselves off the Isla cos the mini-Vs are so good... this has happened twice in the last two weeks, to kids who wanted a go on my boy's CNOC ... they tore off on it all confident and fast like, then grabbed a handful and went flying. Not funny!
