Description

Buddy Bike provides a unique design.
Buddy bike puts your child up front but keeps you in the driver's seat!
Buddy Bike utilizes an exclusive and innovative design with an extra set of handles on the handlebars for your child, an extra rear brake for safety and gears connected to your child's pedals.

The two of you push together, steer together and, what's even better, connect with each other!

UNIQUE HANDLEBAR SETUP
The unique handlebar setup of the Buddy Bike allows the front rider to feel all of the steering movements, while the extended rear handlebars gives the rear rider total control.
Front and rear brakes and the shifters are located on the extended handlebar.

The front rider holds onto the smaller set of bars, which also have rear braking capacity.
Both sets of handlebars are adjustable.
The rear set can be moved up and down, depending on the rider's preference, and the front set can be moved backwards and forwards, depending on the rider's reach.

Children can easily hold onto the handlebars and stay seated and balanced.
For the child who can't quite reach the pedals we have optional fold out foot pegs which attach to the frame.
Many kids aged five to eight fit that description.
The adjustable seats make it a snap to fit riders of all dimensions.

Please note, that although the Buddy Bike arrives 90% assembled, the manufacturer requires that their Bikes to be shipped to a bike shop only.
At the Bike Shop a professional can complete the assembly of your Buddy Bike.
We will gladly ship your Buddy Bike the bike shop of your choice.
AND we will refund you up to $50 to have the bike shop assemble it for you. Please pre-arrange with them so that they know the bike is coming.
Then just fax a copy of your assembly receipt to us and write your order number on it.

Exactly as advertized August 19, 2009
Reviewer: Satisfied Customer from United States  
We bought this so I could ride with our 9-year-old son who has low muscle tone and was unable to ride a two-wheel bike.  He enjoys the front-seat view that he didn't have on a pull-behind tandem.  

Amazingly, just a couple days after getting this bike, he started pedaling on own bike.  He had been able to coast and balance without training wheels, but not pedaling yet.  The Buddy Bike gave him the strength and confidence to put it all together.  

This bike is also great for our long family bike rides together.

The bike requires slightly wider turns than a regular bike, due to the handlebar configuration, but balancing two people is not a problem.  (Watch the video to see how easy.)  All told, we had been looking at this bike for a couple of years, and it's exactly what we hoped for.
