While we do have the option to grab a bike quickly at Wal Mart or Canadian Tire, here are some great local small businesses that offer bicycles for kids here in the GTA!
 | MEC Suitable for kids ranging from four years old up to 11, bicycles from this popular Canadian sporting gear co-op start at $89 (for a wooden push bike) to $825 for an aluminum Col XS, for the cool kids only. You can peruse the selection online or at their flagship on Queen West. |
 | Sweet Pete's Head to this Bloordale Village bike shop for nearly 30 varieties of bikes for kids aged five to eight. Brands include Trek, Radio, Electra, Liv, and Kona. |
 | Oxygen Bike Co. This popular bike shop is on Lakeshore West. The selection of children’s chariots is extensive. You can shell out as little as $115, or reach deep into those pockets for the latest model of the Rocky Mountain Reaper 24, which will set you back $2,449. |
 | Dismount Bikes This community spot on St. Clair West has wheel sizing running from just 10 inches (for the tiny little toddlers) to 24 inches for kids nine and older. Prices range from $99.99 for the smallest size to $579 for Storm models in various fun colours. |
 | Urbane Cyclist As one of the most established bike stores in the city, this Little Italy shop does its part in keeping the little ones a-wheeling. Their core brands are Early Rider and Louis Garneau, with some good lightweight options with belt drives instead of chains (no more greasy hands). |
 | Velotique This bike shop in Leslieville carries quite a sizeable number of kids’ bike models. You’ll find stylish brands like Louis Garneau and Evo. The price for a Mini Will 12 is $120, and goes up to $530 for the Petite Queen 24, for kids that are too grown for baby bikes but not quite old enough to ride with the big boys. |
 | Brockton Cyclery It’s better known for its comprehensive selection of adventure and commuter bikes, but this Dundas West shop also offers a more limited but equally convenient selection. Find little bicycles from Early Riders hanging on the wall at the far right side of the store. |
