    Tikes Bikes — bicycles

    Our Favorite Books for Tikes that Ride Bikes

     

    Bikes are a gateway to freedom and adventure.  Not only do they build confidence, but they allow children to explore the world around them.  

    When you can't head out on a bike ride you can still give your child a ticket to adventure by opening up a book and letting their imaginations take them to new places.  Here's a few of our favorites:
