Learning to ride a bike could be considered a rite of passage! Whether you’re getting your toddler started on a balance bike or scooter, searching for their first “big kid bike” or ready to hit the trails on a BMX, here are our go-to bicycle shops.
Scooting and cycling is an essential stage of childhood and helps in the development of a child’s gross motor skills, balance and coordination so important to get your kids off to the right start. Getting the right size, weight, balance and fit are all crucial and will change as your kiddo grows so it is important to invest in a product that will suit their current skill level and their physical ability (and definitely not one they will “grow into”). One of the unique and charming things about bike shops in Hong Kong is that most of them are run by cycling and sports enthusiasts (who are more than willing to answer any sort of queries). Head to these Hong Kong bicycle shops and give your little ones a licence for some wheelie good fun at the city’s top cycling spots!
