Childs Hybrid Bike?

[Sara_H]

Hi all, hoping to get no.1 son a hybrid for his 9th birthday.

Does anyone have any reccomendations?

Something like this, might be a bit small though? http://www.islabikes...es/beinn26.html (the next size up seems to be 11+)

Or much less costly http://www.bikes2udirect.com/B3983.html?mv_pc=gp1

After countless mistakes of buying cheapo, heavy, inadequate bikes and having kids who never really learnt to enjoy cycling, I finally got Islabikes aswell. Ended up wasting far more money by buying the wrong bikes initially and although the Islabikes seem expensive, you will alway's make your money back meaning it doesn't end up costing you that much at all and you'll have a child who will really enjoy riding it

Thanks for your replies - Islabikes look fab - sadly a bit out of my price range.

Dawes trecker looks like a likely contender

I really wanted to get away from the weight of a suspension fork, to be onest.

Managed to find the Tracker for £165 at Bikes 2U Direct - very pleased with that price.
