Yeah i bought a real cheap lil bike for my son from a second hand sale last year and he's nearly ridden the life out of it (unfortunately still got the stabilisers - we're working on it...) but i've just bought a proper bike for his christmas. it's hiding in the loft at the moment, i couldn't afford a trek or the lovely lovely specialised i saw but he's getting a little raleigh which are a uk company which i've always ridden since being little so i trust.

can't find a pic of one online but it's so neat and i think having a decent bike will make all the difference!
