For anyone that travels anywhere Christmas morning; usually to a relatives for some dinner and more gifts. There's simply a tradition of spotting Kids with their new Christmas Gifts. Remote control cars, scooters, go-karts and of course the classic....a Bike.
It's a stressful time of year for parents trying to secure deals on the children's 'main' present. At GO Outdoors we're trying to take the pain out of it for you. We have a selection of bikes, mountain bikes and BMX's in store and a few at very low prices so that the only thing you need to worry about is finding a place to hide it until Christmas morning. So here's a guide from GO Outdoors for buying the perfect bike this Christmas.
Buying Guide
Visit the store - Unless you know yours or your child's bike size then make sure you visit the store before purchasing and get a feel for the bikes. A bike isn't like a new jacket, buying large to 'grow into it' isn't always the best idea.
Sale Bikes - Most of the time a Bike is on sale because it's running to the end of it's seasonal line. Or it's a fresh promotion to get the name of the bike out there. Don't fear these promotions as they're usually the best place to pick up a deal.
Ask for Advice - Most cycle stores will have qualified bike mechanics to talk you through the pro's and con's of each bike. Don't be baffled by sales talk or jargon, if you don't understand something then just say. These people are there to help you.
The Bikes Purpose - You don't want a BMX if you're riding from one end of the country to another. Think carefully about what purpose your bike serves. A standard Mountain bike is fine for a Child who is merely riding around the block on a sunny day.
Bike Extras
There are a large range of extras available when buying a Bike but make sure you pick up the required items before you add on the luxuries.
You need:
Helmet - Everybody from children to adults need to wear helmets when riding a bicycle.
Hi-Viz Clothing - If you plan to ride at night then a Hi Viz vest or light and reflective clothing are heavily advised for your safety.
Lights - Much like above Lights are needed when riding at night to ensure that you are seen on the roads.
Puncture Repair Kit - A puncture is inevitable. You can pick up great repair kits for cheap and it's something good to always keep in a little pouch attached to your bike so that you're ready for the problem before it even happens.

A Mountain Bike for Christmas is a great gift. It's great to get the kids out of the house in the new year, out and active again. More and more with Bike brands you can get good quality for less. In most GO Outdoors stores across the UK you will find a dedicated cycle shop with experts to answer any of your questions. These mechanics can offer you great advice on which bicycle you will need.
That's all for now.
