Description
The Big Foot 12 is the off-road balance bike. Fat 2.25″ knobbly tyres soak up bumps and grip on grass, gravel and mud, so it is as happy in the woods as on the pavement. Frame, fork, hubs, rims and bars are all aluminium, the bearings are sealed, and each wheel has 20 hardened spokes so a kerb or a root won’t buckle it. Ritchey controls and a light-pull rear brake give them proper stopping, and the saddle goes down to 31 cm.
Early Rider make the coolest kids’ bikes around, and they ride beautifully. They are iconic in brushed silver, but the new colours look great. Gav (shop owner)’s own daughter rides an Early Rider and loves it on the BMX track.
When they are ready for pedals, the Belter 14 and Seeker 14 are the next step.
Every kids’ bike we sell is properly set up and ready to go, which is worth £50. No building needed: turn up and ride away. They get the memory of buying their new bike from a bike shop, and you don’t spend the evening swearing at a box and fiddling with hex keys.
Come and try one for size at Butternut Bikes in Crouch End, or call 020 8347 5534. Colours we don’t have in the shop are ordered in from Early Rider UK for you.
