Terms of use

Using citycyclinglife.com means accepting the following. If any of it does not suit you, do not use the site.

What the guides are

The guides are general information about children's bicycles, written from experience and from published manufacturer guidance. They are not instruction supervised by anyone, and they are not an assessment of what is appropriate for any particular child.

Decisions about a child's equipment, where they ride and when they are ready are yours to make, and you are best placed to make them. Training Wheels City accepts no liability for outcomes arising from following or adapting anything published here.

Equipment and manufacturer instructions

Where our guidance and a manufacturer's instructions differ, follow the manufacturer. This applies particularly to helmets and to anything with a stated weight limit or fitting procedure.

Content and reuse

The text and illustrations here are original and remain ours. Quote a short passage with a link back if it is useful to you. Do not republish whole guides, translate them for another site, or feed them into a service that regenerates them as new pages.

Links out

Some guides link to manufacturers, retailers or reference pages we do not control. Those links were useful when written. We are not responsible for what those sites publish, sell, or do with your information.

Advertising

This site carries advertising. The advertising network selects and serves the ads, not us, and their appearance here is not an endorsement. If an ad looks misleading or out of place, telling us through the contact page is genuinely helpful.

Availability

This is a personal project. The site may go offline for maintenance, be restructured, or stop being updated, and no URL is guaranteed to persist.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be revised. The date below marks the current version, and continued use after a revision means accepting it.
