Making the best possible use of the technology that goes into our top Angelino brand for transporting children, these bicycles are both safe and easy to ride and enable optional rear child seats to be fitted so that children can also be transported around. The unisex design will also appeal to fathers who are involving themselves in child-rearing by making them look cool. The children's bicycle was developed as a first bike for kids sharing the same design as their parent's bike. The main consideration was given to safety for children riding bicycles for the first time, and it features easily attached and detached side wheels that will prove useful when the child is learning to ride without training wheels, adjustable brake levers that can be modified to fit the size of the child's hands, and other functions. The unisex design also enables the bicycle to be ridden by both boys and girls in the same way as the adult bike.
In addition to the fun involved in coordinating these pair bicycles for both parents and children, purchasing additional coordinated parts for the bikke will enable a single bicycle to be used for a long time throughout all life stages, from riding alone through to transporting children and sharing the bicycle between couples and their children. Bridgestone hereby offers a style of pair bicycles that is unprecedented in bicycle lifestyles up until now and that is guaranteed to provide enormous fun for all families with children as they try out the many different combinations available.
