Your little one is a couple years younger than mine if I remember right, but when she’s a bit older, check out the Strider 14x. It’s a reasonably priced bike and converts from balance to pedal mode. My daughter is tall for her age, too, and she probably would’ve fit on it when she turned three.

@ Matt I thought the same thing at first glance, until I remembered the origin of the model. Hillybike immediately reminds me of mountain people, and the music they made with the instruments they had, or that they made themselves. On Sunday, March 10, 2019 at 5:17:49 PM UTC-5, Matt D wrote: >

I believe one way I can help RBW survive is to shop their website. Sure, I can comparison shop for a "better deal" online for a pair of brake levers, a saddle and seat post, or sets of tires. It seems so easy to buy something from someone down the road, or ebay. I may even save ten dollars

I like pneumatic tires because they are quieter. Some like plastic because they are lighter. Probably doesn’t make a huge difference, though pneumatics might last a touch longer. I always have pushed my kids a bit faster into the next size bike than I probably should... three kids in I am

Totally agree Howard, the other "problem" is that the when they Rivendell build you a bike or sell parts is, is that the stuff lasts, it's all highly functional and generally only wears out over a long period of time. I have splurged on their bags, for sure but my Homer which remains stock

I found two used Striders for my twins and they learned on em. One day I got them 16" bikes with cranks and within an hour they were riding. The process is amazing to watch. My third kid is on one of the Striders now he is approaching getting on some cranks. I think for the money it doesn't
