road bike 9 year old image
Joe
Hey i just rode 107 miles today on my mountain bike through philadelphia. The time it took was 9 hours, 42 minutes, and 14 seconds. I dont ride professionally just for fun. I wasnt really tired afterwards, but my shoulders hurt from the 8 pound backpack i was wearing, and my feet hurt cause i was wearing Pumas. Im 17 years old, weigh 160 pounds. Just wondering if I need to improve on anything. Opinions?
Answer
sounds good to me
get slick tires, clipless pedals, dump the backpack and you should drop the 42 minutes off :)
then a road bike would probably drop another hour off
plus if you get out of the city you won;t have to stop and go constantly
was that time including traffic lights, breaks, eating or was that just rolling time?>
maybe a bike jersey would be more streamlined if you were wearing a floppy shirt
bike shorts too

We are looking for bicycles for 10-and 12-year-olds and want reasonable quality without paying a fortune
Answer
"best"
"affordable"
"reasonable"
"fortune"
The odds of everyone here agreeing on the parameters for those vague terms are quite slim. Probably none.
Very few bikes for pre-teens cost a fortune. Except for a couple special edition jobs and one Italian road bike, I can't think of any. If $300/bike is a fortune, then I can't help you. If $300-500/bike is affordable, you'll have some choices at your local bike shop. Trek and Specialized are just two of the numerous manufacturers of high quality bikes that offer products for riders of every age.
Trek's MT240 lists for $549

Trek's MT220 lists for $349

Specialized has various Hotrock 24 models from $330 to $420

Other good makes to consider include Jamis and KHS among others. All of these better quality bikes come with good components, factory warranty, and service provided by an authorized dealer. Avoid department store bikes and you should be just fine.
