When our groms are ready to move beyond a kick bike, one of our top choices for a new whip is the Hedgehog 16in Single Speed Kids' Bike, a cool and easy-to-ride two-wheeler from Cleary. The Hedgehog keeps things simple with a single-sprocket setup that's easy to learn on, making this bike perfect for navigating the driveway, tearing up the backyard, and swerving around the sleeping dog as your child refines their balance and pedaling skills. From the parent or guardian point of view, stopping is as important as going, so Cleary outfits the 'Hog with reliable V-brakes for speed control, and includes grippy rubber tires for all-terrain traction. The details are on point, too, starting with the brown vegan leather seat and extending to the front and rear reflectors that add a bit of style and safety when the whole family is out for a twilight ride.
