Finding bike shops that are family-friendly and that carry a good selection of kids bikes can be quite the challenge. If you’re like me, you want to support local bike shops but you also don’t want to buy inferior bikes for your family.
The following list of shops (by state and province) fit some combination of the following criteria:
- They carry a good selection of high-quality kids bikes and/or kids cycling gear (helmets, jerseys, etc).
- They carry a good selection of family cycling gear such as cargo bikes, bike seats, trailers, etc.
- A trade-up program is offered for kids bikes.
- The shop supports or is active in the development of young riders through development programs, race organization, or family bike rides.
- The shop is physically welcoming to families and has space for kids and parents via a seating area, toys, books, nursing area, etc.
If you can’t find a good local bike shop in your area, we’ve also included some online bike shops at the end that are small business and deserve your support as well.
Also, note that this list has largely been crowd-sourced. The shops we’ve highlighted are one’s that we personally have been able to verify are awesome. If there’s a shop that you believe should be added, leave a comment below and we’ll get it on the list.
