There are plenty of bikes for toddlers available but this has a pop of colour, adding some fun and excitement to their first bike!

Gingersnap Spare Baskets

This incredible range doesn’t just stop at bikes though. What would a bike be without a bike basket, perfect for all their important stuffed animals and sacks for the trip! This is where the Gingersnap bike basket comes in.

As the bikes above are Dutch-style bikes, they will come with the basket already, however, it’s important to know where you’ll be able to find a spare if you need to!

The Gingersnap Spare Baskets come in three different sizes. These are small, medium and large. Pretty simple right! 

Don’t forget to grab yourself some new bike straps too so you’re able to fix the basket onto the bike. We have some great vegan leather bike straps available to be bought alongside this basket.

 

Our Favourite Kid’s Accessories:

You can’t just stop at a basket and bell! There are so many more amazing accessories you can add to your child’s bike to make the bike even more exciting than it already is. Here are some of our favourite children’s bike accessories so you can add more to your bike!

Bike Basket Garland Craft Kit - This is a great way to encourage your kids to get onto their bikes, they’ll want to show off what they’ve made. It’s also a great rainy day activity that can be added to bikes later on.

Stainless Steel Water Bottle - What better way to encourage your to drink more water than to buy them a brand new water bottle they’ll love taking out on their bike with them!

Handlebar Tassels - If you’re struggling to get them excited about riding a bike, why not try these handlebar tassels. When they’re riding into the wind, they’ll see these colourful tassels blowing in the wind alongside them.

Your Child's Old Bike

So now you’ve got everything ready to go and purchase a new bike from this incredible range. But what do you do with your child’s old bike? Here are some helpful tips about where to send your child’s old bike! 

Give to charity - Much like adult bikes, bikes for kids are needed and wanted from charity organisations. This is a great way to give back to the local community and those less fortunate without it costing you a fortune. 

Sell for parts - If you have parts from your kids bike that could still be used but the bike is in too much disrepair to give away, try selling your bike to a bike shop for spare parts. This is a great way of still earning off a broken or low-quality bike.

Donate to an organisation - There are plenty of organisations around that help fund less fortunate children. Giving the bike to a specific charity is a great way of helping a targeted audience of those less fortunate. 

You’re all set! You’ve found the perfect bike for your child, you've added a pop with a colourful design and some fun accessories and you even know what to do with the old one! Now all you have to do is plan an exciting cycling adventure and a fun family bike ride for you all to travel on.
