These days, as cycling parents, we start ‘em young. We have new bike designs available that make it easier for kids to learn and to go places with less effort than when we were young ones. Nothing gives a child a better head-start on cycling than a Skuut Balance Bike. It’s like playing Mozart in the baby nursery. Learning balance is the key to riding a real bike, the pedaling comes much easier later. These “bikes” have started many in this new generation pedaling without training wheels well before their forth birthdays!

If your kid is already pedaling, then as a cyclist yourself, you owe it to your child to provide a bicycle that is nimble and easy to handle. You wouldn’t ride a bike that out-weighs you, right?!? Why should a child be expected to. That’s why BioWheels features Jamis Kids Bikes. These are high-tech aluminum frames, with alloy rims and many of the same quality components found on adult bikes. Jamis sweats the details for each model… “Every Jamis kids’ bike uses size-specific items at every contact point, with grips, saddles and cranks that are scaled appropriately for each frame size to maximize comfort and control.”

Because it hadn’t been released yet, it was difficult to decide, but after taking one look at the bike on Blue’s website the decision was made! The Axino simply screams “race” with its compact geometry, BB30, sleek internal cabling, and downright badass looks. A frame weight of 995g doesn’t make the decision too difficult either. When the frame arrived at my door, I knew that I had made the right choice, and carefully tucked it in bed with me that night.

The first pedal stroke I took on our first journey on the road together, I seemed to move forward with ease. The Axino is undoubtedly fast, and after only a few rides I can already tell you that this is my favorite bike I have ever owned. It’s speed, stiffness, and comfort make it absolutely perfect. Adding to this perfection is the fact that the geometry “fits me to a tee.” My old bike left me a bit stretched out, but with the Axino it feels as though I’m on a custom frame!
As I get more rides in over the next few months, but more importantly take it out for racing, I will post a detailed review about the bike.

Blue is beginning to make a much bigger name for themselves in the U.S. cycling scene, and with this frame along with its fair pricing, it’s sure to be a huge success!
