A Kid Place Announces Launch of Glide Bikes

Aug. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- WAYNE, NJ – A Kid Place is pleased to announce the launch of Glide Bikes to help children master a balance bike easily and safely. One standout feature parents appreciate is that the Glide Bike is a toy children can continue to ride for years after learning how to ride a bicycle with pedals.

There are multiple reasons why A Kid Place owner Bonnie Lim considers Glide Bikes http://www.akidplace.com/Glide_Bikes_s/320.htm to be an exciting addition to the company's product line. Here are a few:

•   Lifetime Limited Warranty
•   Patented Slow Speed Geometry
•   Kickstands Included
•   Value for Dollar Spent

Balance should be the major focus of learning to ride, not training wheels and pedals that get in the way and hamper the learning process. The result is fewer spills, increased confidence, and safer riding.

For children ages 2-5 weighing up to 100 pounds, the Glide Bikes Mini Glider http://www.akidplace.com/Glide_Bikes_Mini_Glider_s/362.htm is a safe choice with standard features that include foam tires (never need air), padded ergonomic seat, adjustable handlebars, and footpegs that rotate out of the way or can be removed. Components of the Mini Glider are lead free, including the metallic finish of pink, blue, or red.

Glide Bikes Go Glider http://www.akidplace.com/Glide_Bikes_Go_Glider_s/361.htm is best suited for kids 5-10 years of age and weighing up to 125 pounds. The same standard features apply as with the Mini Glider and colors include orange, red, green, blue, and pink.

The Glide Bike series is designed with patented slow speed geometry. This means riders experience a lower center of gravity and safer balancing. These bikes are very much suited for special needs children thanks to the unique patented foot peg system that lets you either lock the pegs into place to provide children with a resting place for their feet, or remove the foot pegs quickly with the tool-free pin.

Long after kids have mastered riding a pedal bicycle, they will continue to ride these gliders for the simple reason that they are so much fun! There's no need for training wheels, which are cumbersome, unsafe, and incapable of providing the proper balance needed to master riding.

Don't settle for just any bike. Your child's enthusiasm for riding can be quickly dashed by spills, scraped knees and hands, fear, tears, and frustration. Bike control is essential, and training wheels will only delay learning and hamper balance.

It all starts with kids "walking" the glider; then at their own pace, they lift one foot, and then the other. Suddenly they are riding, gliding, and balancing like a pro!
