BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

A tester of children’s bikes is impressed by the “kid-friendly” geometry, “thoughtful” design, and “easy-to-ride” nature of this bike. The Koda 2 Plus 16” is fitted with two brakes. This tester is pleased to see the presence of a hand-operated V-brake (linked to the rear wheel) but reports that it performs poorly, leading little learners to rely on the bike’s coaster brake (also stopping the rear wheel). Regardless, this expert sees the bike as a considerable value for an affordable bike that suits four to five-year-olds.
