TODAY Olympic, World Champion and Tour de France hero Sir Bradley Wiggins unveiled his range of kids bikes for toddlers to teens, developed exclusively for Halfords.
Sir Bradley started cycling as a 12 year old on a Halfords bike after being inspired watching Chris Boardman ride in the Barcelona Olympics, and his ambition to encourage more kids to cycle has come full circle with bikes which are uncompromised on spec and design, but are accessible and affordable.
Sir Bradley said, “These bikes are designed for kids and young people of all ages, boys and girls, to try and give them the best cycling experience, so they can get the feeling I had when I first got on a bike.”
“The best thing is that we’ve designed a bike for every ability – from balance bikes for toddlers taking their first ride, to quality road bikes for more serious young cyclists. Riding your bike is one of the only sports mum, dad, everyone can do together.”
Emma Fox, Halfords’ commercial director said; “Working with a champion such as Sir Bradley has been brilliant.
“Bradley has been involved in developing every bike from the wheels up so this range really represents our shared vision to get more kids cycling with this fantastic range of bikes.”
Each model is named after a town or location that was part of Bradley's historic 2012 Tour De France win. The bikes – from balance bikes to high spec road bikes - have been designed with geometry specific to young riders.
The WIGGINS Pau Balance Bike is has a unisex design, with 12” wheels with proper pneumatic tyres and a lightweight frame. The design features a concealed handle beneath the saddle to help parents carry it easily.
The WIGGINS Macon 16” Hybrid is the bike kids’ dreams are made of, with its glossy red finish and the unisex design is lightweight to help kids get the best riding experience.
Get set for adventure with the WIGGINS Chartres 20” Hybrid, a lightweight, urban style hybrid with 7 speed Shimano gears to help take its rider anywhere they want to go.
The WIGGINS Chartres 24” Hybrid has 9 speed Shimano gears with trigger shift levers and disc brakes, this is the bike for riders to take it to the next level.
The WIGGINS Chartres 26” Hybrid is a premium hybrid, with 27 speed Shimano gears and a lightweight aluminium frame and fork.
The range wouldn’t be complete without bikes representing the rides Sir Bradley Wiggins is famous for. The WIGGINS Rouen 650c Road has a lightweight 15” frame with 16 speed Shimano Claris gears.
The WIGGINS Rouen 700c Road with 16 speed Shimano Claris gears, is a slick, lightweight speed machine for riders looking for real performance from their bike.
