A Kid Place Announces Addition of FirstBIKE Balance Bikes

WAYNE, N.J. - June 25, 2013 - PRLog -- A Kid Place is excited to offer its customers a new line of balance bikes: FirstBIKE. Like other balance bikes, FirstBIKE helps boys and girls develop the balance and motor control skills they need to successfully ride a conventional bicycle.

“FirstBIKE balance bikes help make learning to ride a bicycle stress-free,” says Bonnie Lim, founder of A Kid Place.  “They eliminate the need for training wheels, which for many children are counterproductive, while allowing kids to get an idea of what riding a conventional bike feels like.”

Balance bikes like FirstBIKE bikes do not have pedals. This allows kids to focus on building balance skills without having to worry about moving their feet. These bikes grow with your children, allowing them to keep up with their older brothers or sisters until they’re ready to move up to a traditional bicycle.

FirstBIKE understands that kids’ bikes have to be able to stand up to a bit of mistreatment. Their bikes have high-tech, injection-molded composite frames that are made of 30% glass fiber reinforced nylon composite. This material is strong, yet extremely lightweight, making it easy for even small kids to handle. The frame does not splinter, scratch, swell, or rust, allowing it to last as long as your child needs it.

A Kid Place is offering three major categories of FirstBIKE bikes. The first is the FirstBIKE Street Balance Bike. (http://www.akidplace.com/FirstBIKE_STREET_s/432.htm) This bike is made for kids who live in urban or suburban areas.  Its wheels are designed to be used on stone, concrete, or packed dirt surfaces, making it perfect for the sidewalk or the driveway.

Is there a hill on the way to the park or down the road? No problem. This bike (and all other FirstBIKE balance bikes) has a seat specifically shaped to ensure your child does not slip off while riding down a hill.

Kids who are more likely to take their bike off the beaten path will love the FirstBIKE Cross Balance Bike. (http://www.akidplace.com/FirstBIKE_CROSS_s/431.htm). The cross model has tires that are designed for off road conditions. Grass, gravel, and loose dirt will not stop this particular model.

Rough terrain can be jarring for a small child, which is why all FirstBIKE models are made with a flexible frame. This frame helps absorb shock, protecting your child’s spine from damage.

Finally, children who are likely to encounter either type of riding surface are best off with the FirstBIKE Racing Balance Bike (http://www.akidplace.com/FirstBIKE_RACING_s/433.htm). The world-renowned Schwalbe Big Apple Tires on this bike are designed for maximum traction on any surface.

Children who use a balance bike have the opportunity to improve their balance and coordination, making the transition to a conventional bike go more smoothly than for children who don’t. FirstBIKE balance bikes’ durable construction ensures they will stand up to rough play and last for as long as children need them. Last, (but not least), they are a ton of fun.
