I want to buy a mens bike as my little boy has just learnt to ride without stabilisers. Don't want anything too fancy and will probably buy from Halfords as they have choice. Does anyone have any particular recommendations ? Thanks.

If you are buying a kids bike to last for a few years until he grows out of it then Halfords is OK.

Buy an old racer from the Admag for £20, you're never going to use it so save your money.Originally posted by kaiser78 View Post

Decide what sort of bike you want i.e. a traditional road racer, a mountain bike or a city / commuter type bike, and then have a look on some websites such as wiggle, evans cycles, chain reaction to get an idea of prices and what is available.
Actually buying a whole bike online probably isn't a good idea, unless you are familiar enough with bike mechanics and have the tools to assemble and adjust everything yourself. A shop will take care of this and set it up to fit you properly and usually throw in a first service for free.
If they have a store near you, decathlon are worth a look. Halfords seemed to have a decent range last time I was in the one near me. Evans also have a lot of shops around the place. One thing worth looking out for are sales of previous years models. These will often have a hefty discount, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the bikes other than being last years colours & fashionable parts.
Other than that, make sure it fits you properly and get a helmet and wear it so you set a good example to your boy.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
