    The weight is... kinda a mixed blessing. On one hand, a lighter bike means he can accelerate faster and with less strength. On the other hand, it also means less inertia once he's picked up speed. Oh, yeah, I forgot to say - we also shifted a gear down (he doesn't shift them on his own yet) and he says that it made riding easier. I guess there's nothing to do now except wait until he's older and bigger.

    Unless you are riding on particularly rough ground inertia is rarely very useful.

    Kids out grow bikes fast and Isla bikes are very expensive, not sure they are worth it for most families.
