I still vividly remember the day I first rode a bicycle.
Living in a housing complex at the time,
I was taken to the park by the older kids on my floor,
and after practicing, falling, and being laughed at,
I eventually learned to ride without training wheels.
Now, as I photograph these kids' bikes here in the park,
I can almost hear the children playing and laughing.
And to see those children, astride their bikes,
pedaling off toward towns they've never seen before—
they are little adventurers.
GT Mach One Expert (20inch) ¥26,040
Silver & Black
This GT BMX has 20-inch wheels,
and while it's hard to say definitively due to different growth rates,
I think it's suitable for children around elementary school age.
And,
ELECTRA Betty & Super72 ¥31,500 each
These ELECTRA kids' bikes are
miniature versions of adult cruiser types.
The curved top tube makes for a low standover height,
making it easy to ride even for girls in skirts.
ELECTRA Betty 20inch (Recommended for 120cm+) *Basket sold separately
ELECTRA Super72 (Recommended height same as above) *Basket sold separately
Finally,
GT Mach One Jr (16inch/Left) Giant Pushbike (12inch/Right)
Mach One Jr (16inch) ¥26,040
This Mach One Jr is the 16-inch version of the 20-inch GT
we saw earlier—a cute bike that comes with training wheels.
The recommended height for this bike is approximately 95cm to 120cm.
The look and coloring are so cool,
I'm truly envious of the kids today.
Giant Push Bike ¥13,650
And the ultimate pick is this Pushbike.
It might be an unfamiliar vehicle, but in a word, this Pushbike is for
"cultivating a sense of balance."
You move forward by pushing off the ground with your feet, and stop by braking with your feet.
Once they can lift both feet off the ground and cruise smoothly,
maybe it’s finally time for their bicycle debut?

Since children grow at different rates,
please feel free to bring them along;
they can try sitting on the actual bikes,
and while we can't install everything,
many accessories like baskets and stands are available, so
please come and consult with us.

With kindergarten and school enrollments, spring is a season
of milestones for children as well.
New environments, new friends,
and setting off on adventures with those friends
to unknown places on their bikes.
