Outing Highlights

THE RIDER

Right-sized for independent kids

These 20” bikes are built for young riders who can pedal on their own — best for children approximately 4’–5’ tall and capable of riding without training wheels. Children must remain under the supervision of a parent or guardian while riding.

THE BIKE

Simple BMX, single-speed control

A straightforward BMX-style, single-speed design keeps handling predictable and easy for young cyclists; seats are adjustable and every bike is inspected and supplied in safe, working order at the start of the rental.

THE LOGISTICS

Trail-side pickup and flexible rental windows

Rentals are available daily or weekly with convenient pick-up (and delivery) options so families can begin their ride without loading bikes into a vehicle. If bikes are returned outside business hours, they should be locked to the designated green bike racks beside the garage using the provided lock.

What the rental feels like

The process is immediate and family-oriented: pick up a Standard 20” child bike at Red Arrow Ride, fit the helmet and adjust the seat during a quick safety check, then ride together along the Red Arrow Bike Trail. Rentals come with the basics — a helmet and a bike inspected for safe operation — so the focus stays on the ride and keeping kids comfortable and secure.
