My two and a bit year old seems to have got the knack of cycling early. He discovered the wooden balance bike I was saving for his 3rd birthday and... well... you can imagine the rest..

He walks/runs on it and is just figuring out that he can lift his feet and zooooooom.... "look Da... I doing it"

I can see a few crashes in the the near future and want to buy him a pair of fingerless cycling gloves... but can't find any his size... 5.5-6cm across the knuckles.

Any leads?

Seems to be bloody hard to find. 5 years looks like the smallest sizes I can find online, and lots of chat from parents in the same position as you who can't find anything suitable. Most of them seem to go for motocross gloves instead which do come in smaller sizes.

I did find these on ebay which might be a smidge too big but they're fingerless, padded, and supposed to fit 3-4 year olds: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Disney-Mickey-For-Kids-Gloves-/300650022295?pt=UK_Cycling_Clothing&var=&hash=item4600234597

BBB do some tiny gloves, Vaidas Bicycles by Honor Oak Station should have some in stock as they rarely ever sell

Hmmmm, +1 for BBB. Pearl Izumi may do kid's sizes (might have to go via a US website, tho'). Also potentially useful is that Pearl Izumi gloves seem to be preposterously tiny generally. Good luck.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
