Would be nice to find a rigid replacement for the front fork. Not sure why
a 24 inch bike needs suspension. If anything I want my kids to be shooken
up a little bit. I'll update this thread as the bike becomes more
rivendellian. Right now I've picked up a specialized hotrock 24 off
craigslist
I zip tied a strawberry basket to my son’s handlebars and he loved it.
They all have bells.
I also cut up reflective tape and let him put it where he wants.
Best,
Aaron in El Paso

Great topic. The approach at our house was, I took my 7-year-old daughter
to the art supply store and she picked out spray paint. Then we stripped
her bike (a very un-Riv hand-me-down with a suspension fork and grip
shifters) to the frame and hung it from a tree branch, and she painted it
I have done this with many kids bikes: adding fenders (Wald stainless
steel), dynamo lighting, cloth type and twine, racks... all with either
very little interest/appreciation by my (otherwise wonderful!) children, or
eye rolling, or even occasional disappointment. The bikes in the shop
