Nursery World - Cycle of transition

Is there a gap in your bike collection? If there is, it's likely to be between the 20" size and 24" size - 20" wheels may be too small for some of the children in your group, while 24" is likely to be too big, as it is suitable for adults. Now Toys 'R' Us has commissioned a team of leading bike designers to produce a bike that is specifically intended for eight- to 12-year-olds. The Silver Canyon bike is fitted with 22" wheels, which the makers claim is unique, and a frame that takes account of the 'critical distance to reach the handlebars' in order for the child to achieve the safest possible riding position. The bike has a lightweight aluminum full suspension frame, 15-speed gears, lightweight alloy rims and V System brakes. Available in purple or blue, priced 119.99.
