You can always tell when the weather starts warming up in Chicago because people on bikes are everywhere. From young to old, people are out all over taking advantage of the sunshine. Us Chicagoans also know that the weather can change drastically from one day to the next so we don’t waste nice days here. There is a joke that “Only in Chicago can you see all four seasons in one week.”

Last weekend for us was both a sad and happy time. My youngest child has started learning to ride a two-wheel bike. I am happy because she is showing such determination but sad because she is also growing up so fast! I still remember her riding a tricycle and then a bike with training wheels, how can she be ready for a regular bike?

It has been a challenge for us to teach her though and a lot harder than when we taught our boys. I guess I never thought that kids learn to ride a bike differently than one another. I also never really thought of kids bikes being so different from one another either.

Schwinn though is a bike company is wants riders to experience confidence when riding, even from first-time riders. They have come out with a product line called SmartStart which is the first bike line that fits a child’s proportions.

Did you ever look at kid’s bikes handlebars? Some grips are too big for little hands and not comfortable.

Or how about a bike seat being too big for a child’s body. I know I have tried a bike with a seat too big for me and it was super uncomfortable.

You can’t move on a bike if you can’t reach the pedals comfortably. Schwinn SmartStart using geometry to match pedal with to a child’s hip width. 

Shop Schwinn SmartStart at Toys”R”Us, Target, Amazon.com and Academy.
