Kids' bike deals: The best value deals where stock still exists
By Cyclingnews
Take advantage of our round-up of the best kids' bike deals while stock remains available in the run-up to Christmas

This year, stocks of kids' bikes may be few and far between, but here at Cyclingnews, we've combed the internet for the best deals on wheels for your mini-shredder this Christmas.
Demand over the summer and limited stock levels mean that there aren't as many discounts or products to go around, but we've managed to uncover some great deals on balance bikes right through to 24in-wheel kids' bikes, just in time for Christmas.
For budget-aware parents, it's important to avoid overspending on the best kids' bikes, especially since your child will probably have a growth spurt shortly after getting it. Luckily, there still are a few kids' bike deals available right now.
So with Christmas fast approaching, if you are thinking of picking up a new bike for your little one, the time to act is now if you want to avoid disappointment. Retailers, suppliers and now even the couriers are struggling to keep up with demand, and we would venture a guess that any remaining stock will sell out quickly on the run-up to the big day.

Competitive Cyclist is often the first place we look for deals. There's not a huge selection of kids' bike deals at the moment, but we expect that'll change regularly.
Amazon isn't exactly the first retailer you think of when shopping for your bike but there's little that the world's largest retailer doesn't sell.
