If you are like me, one of your favorite childhood memories of Christmas was finding a bicycle under the tree. This holiday gift guide is full of my top picks for bikes (and bike-related goodies) for every age. There’s a ride-on toy for your baby, a first bike for your preschooler, a mountain bike for your middle schooler, and even a little something for mom and dad.

Best Bike-Related Gifts for Baby
Don’t leave baby out of the bicycle fun! As soon as baby can crawl, sit, and explore, you can start introducing them to a pre-bike, and once their neck is strong enough, you can add a helmet to your bike rides. For more information on biking with a baby, read our Guide to Biking with Baby.

Great to know about the helmet! I’ll probably be getting that for the baby this year. We have Mike and the Bike and my son loves it too. Unfortunately, there are two major problems with it – the introduction by Lance Armstrong and the atrocious music. Fortunately, my son didn’t remember hearing the songs well enough to request them again in the future!
Haha, agreed on the music! We listened to the CD once and never again. Now we just kind of make up our own tunes to accompany the lyrics.
