Prevelo Bikes

I love family grown companies. Prevelo Bikes was started by Jacob, dad to two boys, and a biking enthusiast. He spent years, studying, designing, and problem solving how to make a great kid’s bike.

All their bikes are designed to inspire confidence in kids. From shorter crank arms, and smaller bottom brackets to low geometry that will help your kids feel more stable and comfortable on the bike. Here is a link to their complete list of kid-specific engineering.

But does any of this really matter?

I’ll be honest, we were skeptical. For years we’ve gone with the “work with what you have” model and had our kids on heavy, awkward and frankly cheap bikes. Now there is nothing wrong with this. After all, the best bike is the bike we have or can afford right now!

However, when our son got on his Prevelo Zulu 4 last fall, it changed the way he rode a bike instantly. He could climb hills better and faster, he handled harder trails and obstacles with greater speed and confidence. In short, a bike designed to fit your kid does make a huge difference! And if you are a family that bikes a lot with your kids, I’d highly suggest taking a closer look at this emerging brand.

Our full review of the Prevelo Zulu 4 comes out this week and our trip report, Biking the 100 mile White Rim Trail can be found here.

We want you to know:

You can do amazing things, take amazing trips, visit amazing places with your kids on bikes.

So enter this huge giveaway below, check out Prevelo, and gear up your family to get out there this spring. See you on the trail!
