Christmas is a time when you need to decide what to get your children from Santa Clause – a decision many parents find difficult. However, when it comes to Christmas presents, there are few that are more eagerly anticipated than a brand new bike. Perfect for getting your kids active and energised, children’s bikes are ideal for both Christmas and everyday use.
But if you are looking to make this Christmas even more exciting take a look at trusted bike retailer Halfords who are running a fantastic festive competition for children, Letters to Santa!

However, there are still some top tips you may need for choosing the right bike and accessories for your child. The bike that your lucky child finds under the tree will of course depend on their age, ability and interests. But, to give you some gift ideas and get your festive juices flowing, here are some of the top bikes and accessories for junior cyclists this Christmas.
Balance bikes
Considered by many to be safer, more useful and longer term than training wheels or tricycles, balance bikes for kids make great presents at any time of the year. Available in a range of designs from simple wooden cycles to motorbike style models, these practical and fun toys are guaranteed to encourage your kids to get out and about this Christmas.
Helmets
Whether you’re investing in a balance bike, a BMX or a mountain bike, buying a helmet to go with your child’s two-wheeled toy is a must. With a huge range of colours, designs and themes available, it will be easy to find the perfect head protector for your little racer.
Bells and handle bar grips
If your child already has a bike they love, a great way to jazz it up this Christmas is to invest in some bright and colourful new accessories. Brand new bells, horns and handle bar grips can completely change the look and style of a bike, allowing you to alter its appearance to suit your child’s ever changing tastes.
One Direction bike
The ultimate gift for any One Direction fan is an eye-catching bike that comes complete with the band logo, prints of the boys’ signatures and bright red detailing. Perfect for kids up to eight years old, the cruiser style bike will make your child the envy of the playground.
