Frequently asked questions about the topic

At what bike size does my child need a luggage rack?

Luggage racks are useful for wheels with a wheel size of 16 inches and above if children go to school or to a sports club and have to transport things regularly. For smaller bikes (12-14 inches), handlebar bags or small baskets are usually sufficient, as the children are still mainly playing and have little luggage.

Can cycling glasses replace normal sunglasses?

No, special cycling glasses offer significantly more protection! They sit closer to the face, don't slip when you move and protect the sides from wind and insects. Normal sunglasses can easily fall off your head when shaken or have gaps through which wind and dirt can get in. In addition, cycling glasses are often made of shatterproof polycarbonate.

How do I attach a handlebar bag correctly?

Make sure that the bag sits firmly on the handlebars with Velcro fasteners or buckles and cannot swing. The bag should not hinder steering – it should be a maximum of 15-20 cm wide. Important: Do not load too heavily (maximum 1-2 kg), otherwise the steering will become cumbersome and children may lose control.

When should my child wear a rain cover instead of a rain jacket?

A rain cover over the helmet is ideal for short distances and light rain. It prevents water from running through the helmet ventilation and protects the helmet from getting wet. In the event of prolonged or heavy rain, a breathable rain jacket should also be worn. Important: The hood must fit tightly and must not restrict the view.

Which bike stand is best for children's bikes?

Side stands with a wide contact surface are particularly suitable for children's bikes, as they offer more stability than narrow models. Rear stands are even more stable, but are more difficult to install. Make sure the stand is height-adjustable or fits the exact bike size - a stand that is too short or long will make the bike unstable.

Do children need special winter undercaps or is a normal hat sufficient?

Special helmet undercaps are definitely better! They are cut flatter so that the helmet still fits and protects properly. Normal hats are often too thick, which means that the helmet no longer fits correctly and loses its protective effect. Helmet undercaps are also wind-resistant and often have extended ear flaps without annoying bobbles.

How can I prevent the bicycle bell from freezing in winter?

High-quality bells with galvanized or stainless metal parts are less likely to freeze. In severe frost, a drop of silicone spray on the bell clapper helps.

Alternatively: park the bike in a protected area or briefly defrost the bell with your warm hand before setting off. Plastic bells are resistant to frost, but often don't sound as loud.

Can handlebar baskets be too heavy for small children's bikes?

Yes, handlebar baskets that are too heavy can destabilize the steering! For children's bikes, baskets should weigh a maximum of 0.5-1 kg and be loaded with no more than 2-3 kg. Heavy loads are better placed on the luggage rack, as they have less of an impact on the center of gravity. Wicker baskets look nice, but are often too heavy - it's better to choose lightweight plastic or fabric baskets.

Are there also cycling glasses for children with visual impairment?

Yes, there are sports and cycling glasses with prescription or with inserts (clip-ins) into which ground lenses can be inserted. Alternatively, children can wear contact lenses under cycling glasses. Wearing normal glasses under cycling glasses usually doesn't work because they move against each other.

How often should bicycle accessories be checked and replaced?

You should check bicycle bells and stands before each season to ensure they are secure and functioning properly. Replace handlebar bags if there is visible wear or torn seams. Rain covers after 1-2 years as the material becomes porous due to UV radiation. Winter undercaps if they have holes or if they no longer fit under the helmet. Replace cycling glasses if they are scratched, as these can impair vision and be dangerous.
