If you want an actual guide to the best kid's bikes, why not take a look at our own?Īgain, Goop's offering is not out of the realms of possibility, with the Linus Lil' Dutchi 16" priced at a semi-reasonable $369. The guide says "this is the perfect bike for beginners who’ll soon become pros". We can't snark about this, the more children on bikes the better. Next up from Goop is its tip for a kid's bike. With lights, mudguards, and a "stylish" bell too, I actually quite like this bike. It also has Shimano 105, which seems excessive for pootling around, but if you wanted to tour on it, you could. If you wanted an urban run around but are the kind of millionaire who looks at Goop for Christmas presents, why spend so little? The Creme La Ruta Rando is a handy machine in between a city bike and a road bike, with drop handlebars, and still has that parcel shelf. It comes with front and rear lights as standard too, which sounds pretty handy to me. It's seven speed and retro, so don't expect too much performance, but it looks nippy and cool enough.įor a cheaper version that is pretty much identical, why not go for the Ortler Bricktown, currently £419.99 on Wiggle? It's half the price of the Linus, still has the seven-speed gearing, and has a parcel shelf on the front, so you can fulfil your dream of looking like a postman. It will set you back $998, which is not outrageous for a slightly fancy but not too fancy town bike, although I'm not sure I'd want to lock it up outside the pub. However, if you are looking at the options in the Goop guide and thinking "I like this, but I want something different", then you've come to the right place.įirst up is the Linus Roadster 7i, "the wheel deal", which is described as “the perfect city bike". Our friends at Canadian Cycling Magazine already noted that the relative affordability of the bikes in the gift guide actually shows up cycling for the ridiculously expensive - and only getting more so - hobby it is.
