- How to select the right size bike for your child. We show what's too big, what's too small and what is a correct fit. We also explain the difference between sizing by age or height and correctly sizing a bike by inseam length.

She whispered "too small", it was so cute. You guys both know your stuff. Thanks for the vid.
@@yay8472 🤣🤣🤣yo wildin' young bug,🤣🤣🤣 But... You right though
Thanks for doing this video. Have a 5 year old just starting to bike without training wheels and needed help figuring out what size to be looking for. Really helped explain everything.
Thanks so much for the video and clear explanation! Fiona is adorable and very smart.
Your video helped 2 confused parents in The Netherlands trying to surprise her 10 year old for the right bike!
Greetings !🎉
Perfect timing as I'm getting my kids' new bikes. Looks like this would be a great store to visit and buy from. Too bad, we don't live nearby.
Perfect instruction for choosing the bike size, many thanks for you!
Thanks for a great video Phil,brilliant information. My son who is ten wants the new trek Roscoe 26 and your information will really help.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪-Paul.
Thanks for this video, its been very useful. The biggest share of that appreciation goes to your daughter for helping us excellently put the bikes into good perspective -don't be jealous daddy...smiles.
Very well explained. Really appreciate that you also showed what a bike that is too small looks like.
Hi do u have any trek bikes
Guys, can't thank you enough. Can't visit a shop these days, this was very informative. Cheers.

Thank you so much for this great professional and informative video.
Very good demonstration! Thank you for sharing.
Great advices! Thank you!
Thank you and your lovely daughter, I really needed these information
Thanks for this. Exactly what I was needing to know to find a bike for my daughter without her trying the sizes out. She's a tall 5 yr old. Just need find the in seam leg chart
Thanks. I am here because I want to get my son one on his birthday. Nice video
Nicely detailed and demonstrated. Thanks!
By God, your daughter is the cutest 10+ year old I have probably ever seen. Her smile and facial impressions are killer. You take care of her and she will take care of you when you are 70+...
Hi.
This was the best video on sizing and buying a kid's bike I've seen. However, as I was forwarding this to help anotger, one thing was missing in the details. You mention your website having charts, etc., but there isn't a readily available link in your details. Would /you mind adding one?
6:29 a ghost whispered “small” lol
Hehe
Hehe 2
It was the girl idiot

Very informative. Fiona did a great job!
This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you
Brilliant explanation ! I would love to come to your shop if it would be in France 🙂
Good Explanation. Well Done!
what a great duo father and daughter combo. i like how she corrected you at 06:29. "too smallllllll......" impressive young lady! thanks for the informative video!🙂
This was super helpful !!! Thank you so much !!!
Great video. Very informative!
Thanks for your information and so sweet of her for helping to demonstrate thank you dear god bless you
Thank you Phil. This is exactly the kind of info I needed for finding a bike. As a cyclist, I understood adult frame sizes and fit, but kid sizing was a mystery. I'm also in the 24"/26" dilemma. If I lived closer I'd be in your shop pronto.
If there’s 11+ just go for a 26inch saves having to buy another bike down the line!
@@Doppo69 When I was 14, I was still riding a 24" bike (this was a 5-speed, back in the late '70's). But then again, I'm only 5' 2". 🤷♀️
Kids today seem to grow faster than they did years ago (maybe it's the BGH etc. in the food supply).
That is a Great video. Thanks for the education.
Thanks. Good detailed explanation.
This was perfect!!!! Thank you!
A technically well explained informative video.. wish if you could also make a video on how to reach cycle to kids👍👍
I'm buying a kids bike for my son and was lost as can't go to any store due to lock down. Thanks for posting.
Thanks mate, great video! 🙏✌👍
That was very helpful and clear. Thanks
Very short and detailed.👌🏽
EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE 👏 ✔ 👍
🤣🤣
That was cute, she corrected you!
(Whispers) "...too small..."
I appreciate this video so much. Trying to surprise my son for Christmas, so thank you!!! Also would u ship to FL?
Excellent video. Thanks!
Idk if this applies to road bikes. But good insights for regular mountain bikes and kids bikes.
Great Video! Thanks for the info.
Great explanation
Good team work
So helpful! Thanks
Thank you so much.. awesome detailed and helpful..
Should I get Kona Honzo 20 or Giant Stp 20 FS which one is a better bike?

Good review kids bikes

I’m a bit late to this party, but thank you so much for making this video. Just before I came across this I measured my daughter so I can gift her on the perfect bike.🤯
Thank you. Very informative
Very helpful showing sizing
Your daughter did great!
this was awesome. thank you
Thanks!!! Great video
clear explanation !
good info. thank you
Very helpful, thank you
How many inches free to have above frame? How many inches to add to your leg inseam?
Very informative
Terrific 👌 Thanks
Whats the names of the bikes u have
What bike is that called
Im 5'2" and had a 26" adult bike. I didnt know why i was struggling to balance and stop. I was stopping with my toes. My legs are short and inseam is not like a regular size adult i sold the bike and will be getting a new one with this knowledge
I'm sorry that happened, Sai. It's not just the wheel size; but the style of bike and the frame size that makes the difference. As an adult measuring 5' 2" (with a short inseam), I find that some 26" bikes are rideable (even ideal for me), while others are a no-go.
Im 6'4" and this bike fits me perfectly. I'm also 380lbs and it holds my weight ...
I’m 16 and 5’4, I feel like the 24 inch bike is a little too big for me, it depends on what bike it is though.
Whats the frame size of the 24" bike thats too big for you?
I haven't seen a height estimate for a 24" bike go over 5'6"... I'm 5'2"; and ride a small-frame 26". Is yours a mountain bike? If so, that might account for the extra height.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you for posting this. How tall is your daughter?
That information would be helpful; but she seems to have long legs, as well. That (the inseam) factors in at least half in finding and settling on the right bike-especially if the purchase is a surprise gift and you can't take the child into the shop to try them out beforehand.
L O L... Love the "small" whisper 🤣💖
😂😂😂
Can you kindly recommend a lightweight bike for an 12 year old? Because what I am concerned about is that these days, bikes are getting quite heavy. So I want my kid to ride a light weight that won't cost too much as well...
Woom Bikes are among the lightest of the kids' bike brands; but they're not cheap (>$500 - $600, for their larger bikes)... What do you consider affordable?
thanks
Thanks
Hi may I know what is Fiona's height? I am 150cm and want to buy a bike online but afraid that 20" inch wheel bike gonna be too small for me
yes 20” is definitely too small (unless ur going for a bmx) for 150cm buy a 26” bike
Hi. I’m around 4’8 with around 25” leg inseam. I tried a 24” wheel bike but it felt a bit small. So I’m a bit confused what size should I get.
May I ask how tall is your daughter if she needs a 24” wheel bike?
Oh I'm 4'8" as well and bought a 24" bike but did u raise ur bike seat up
@@allaniedawn1667 no, but maybe that would fix my problem then. Thanks :)
Rather than recommend a bike for a rider with a certain size "inseam"/saddle height, I think it'd be more accurate to just list the minimum/max saddle height and/or highest part of the top bar (if step-over frame). That's because different bike manufacturers/bike experts recommend different ways of measuring the inseam: Some advise with shoes; some without shoes; and some recommend subtracting an extra 1" - 2" for better clearance! 🤷♀️ Hence why I myself prefer step-through frames! 😁
@@mollyhooper8674
Raise the bike seat and the handle bars.
7:12… So are we gonna just ignore that chart showing her suited for a 26” bike even though your test showed it was actually TOO BIG for her? 😮😊
5:37 - I avoid this type of situation by sticking with step-through bikes. ;)
Hi there 24 inch for boy is different 24 adult
Me being 5’9 with a 20 inch 💀
And it fits? I'm also 5"9 and I'm looking for 20inch on sale
Whats the frame size of your 20" bike?
@@HDsharp I think they must be referring to 20" frame size. Even Schwinn lists 20" kids' bikes for riders 4' - 5'.
@@nostalkingzone it’s called a bmx
Why did you buy pink bike i know how to ride a bike with without training wheels
Cool. everyone can
I have an inseem of about thirty-two inches, which is seven inches higher than the recommended height for bikes with twenty-four inch wheels. The problem is that if I get myself a bike that is too big, it will not fit inside my SUV. As it is, I can barely fit a 700C bike inside my SUV. I am just looking for a ball park wheel size, so if it still feels too small, I can raise the seat to make it big enough. If you are like me and your inseem is a few inches higher than the recommended height for twenty-four inch wheels, you can get twenty-four inch wheels, anyway, raise the seat, and get away with that.
You will run into a reach issue on the frame. With a 32" you are well last sizing by wheel size and you need to size by frame size/reach. A bike with 27.5" or 29" wheels will both be more modern and last longer but also fit better. Get a bike with through axles or qr axles and just take the wheels off if you have to transport via SUV. I have used my wife's SUV to haul my bike before when we don't want to take the truck.
I had my inseem remeasured since I wrote my last comment in this thread and with my shoes on, it is actually thirty-three inches. I was not planning on spending money to buy a bicycle rack for my SUV. I am roughly about seventy-one inches with a thirty-three inch inseem and those are the two numbers that I will use to size my own bike. A bike with twenty-six inch wheels will still fit easy in my SUV, but the bigger bikes will be more of an issue. I might have to get clever with a twenty-niner or a 700C. If I can take off only the front wheel to make it fit, that will save me time that I no longer have to spend to adjust my gears on the back wheel. Any suggestions?

Me to I want a bicycle colour pink I am 8 year old
wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
i can’t even stand over my bike flat foot
This is hard...grown men ride 20 Inch bmx bikes....sooooo...idk. My son has a 22inch inseam...I don't wanna spend 400-500 dollars on a bike that gonna fit he I'm for at most 2, years
Sometimes you can find one of the 'pric-ier' bikes used, but in good condition, for a more reasonable cost.
I see them a lot on Craigslist--problem is, the nearest large city (with the better market) is like 150+ miles away; and under the present economy, it's hard to justify that much in transportation costs (especially when it may not be what you want).
Thank you
I like ya cut g
Omg I just realized that 😭
2:34 - Fiona has long legs for her height. :) That makes finding a good-fitting bike easier.
2:53
she has mounted the bike
Wtf is that supposed to mean?
GooD
Ok
Yes
can't even start to take you serious with that haircut my friend...
