Communion bike - which bike is suitable as a communion gift? We advise

Despite the passing years and changing trends, the bicycle is still one of the most popular First Communion gifts. The godparents most often have to make the right choice. What features should a communion bike have?

How to choose a communion bike? 

The most important thing is to adjust the size of the bike to the physical condition of its young owner or owner. Too small will be uncomfortable for the child and will not last long. On the other hand, riding a bike that is too large will make it difficult to use the vehicle, so buying a larger model as a spare is not worth it. Getting on and off the bike, as well as balancing, can be troublesome and not very comfortable for the child, and, above all, unsafe.

So what to consider when choosing a communion bike? 

• wheel size - A bike with 9" wheels is best for a 10-24 year old. However, age alone should not affect this. For children up to 120 cm tall, a two-wheeler with 20-inch wheels is more suitable. On the other hand, a 26-inch communion bike is a good choice for a child over 1,5 meters tall.
• Frame size - as with wheels, the frame of the bike must be appropriate for the height of the child. Usually, manufacturers indicate the size of the frame in letters, for example, XS or inches. For a child up to 150 cm tall, a bicycle with a frame size of 11-14 inches is purchased.

In addition to the size of the frame of the Communion bike, it is worth paying attention to its other properties, including weight. Since the user of the two-wheeled vehicle will be a child, it is better to opt for a light aluminum alloy frame.

Most models have adjustable seat height. Such a practical solution will make the child enjoy the gift for a long time. An integral part of the bike is front and rear lighting. If it is not included in the kit, it must be purchased and installed in the vehicle. City bikes are usually equipped with fenders and handlebar baskets.

Types of communion bikes - which one to choose? 

Among children's bicycles, mountain and city bicycles are the most popular. The choice of one of them depends on the preferences of the child, temperament and the type of terrain where it will be used most often. An active child who prefers a spirited ride around the city or mountain trails will love the MTB mountain bike. The urban option is suitable for both cycling and transport, for example, to school.

• City bike thanks to the high position of the steering wheel, it allows you to keep a straight or only slightly inclined silhouette while driving. As a rule, it is very functional, as it has useful additional equipment such as a basket, rack and fenders. It is more often chosen by girls, but fashionable male models can also be found without any problems.
• Mountain bike compared to the city, it has a wider frame and tires and a less profiled, usually straight handlebar. More efficient driving on more difficult terrain is facilitated by the gears, shock absorbers and mechanical brakes often used in this variant.
