Fireman Sam 12" Bike

A child’s first bike is so important to their development because it means a new kind of freedom. Until they get their first bike, most children will always have been taken everywhere by their parents. From being pushed around in a pram as a baby to being driven around in the car is they get older, kids are completely at the mercy of where their parents want to go up until a certain age. With their first bike, a child gets their first taste of adventure choosing their own route and enjoying the feeling of being completely independent if only for an hour or so at a time.

Children can develop in so many ways through using a bike, from learning to play with other children and take exciting journeys - even if it is just around the local park - to learning about taking risks and dealing with the consequences of their actions. Of course a bike is more dangerous than a pushchair or being carried around, but children live for this kind of adventure and can develop not only spatial relations but also how to measure and deal with risks coupled with their sense of adventure.

Bikes are also a great environmentally friendly form of transport. if you can get your children keen on riding around on their bike from an early age, and take an interest in getting around under their own steam , this can help to make them healthier, more environmentally aware adults.
