Children's bicycle frame size?




Octavio


I'm building my daughters first bike. The frame measures 28" length and 11.5" height. A old Schwinn frame. What size wheels would a frame with those measurements take? And what age child would you recommend it for?


Answer
Kids bikes are sized using the age of the rider. Bicycle sizes are determined by the tire size

What is a good age for kids to start riding their bike?

What age do u think a child should be taught to ride a bike with training wheels? without training wheels?
What age do u think is appropriate for a kid to ride their bike into town with an adult or an older kid like a teenager maybe?
What age do u think is appropriate for a kid to be able to ride a bike downtown themselves?

any other thoughts about kids riding bikes?



Answer
it varies and depends how motivated the child is. my kids started riding w/ training wheels at 3 and w/o between 4 and 6 (some of my kids were more cautious and others were more motivated). they biked into town (maybe 4 miles for us) with an adult from about 5 or 6. as for by themselves, they haven't yet. my oldest is 10 and she sometimes bikes short distances around the neighborhood with a friend.

other thoughts: helmets are not optional. (speaking as someone who got a concussion riding my bike!)
