We all know that getting kids active these days can be quite a challenge. I find though that most boys love bikes, so I think getting your son active with a bike is a very good idea.

You have to make sure he gets a good bike. If he has lots of trouble with his bike all the time it is sure to put him off. The bike must also have good gears so that he can learn how to use them properly.

Cycling is fun! All that you have to do is make sure he finds that out. A bike that is the right size for him is what he needs. Because he is only going to use it for a few years, you do not want to pay too much for it, yet you want something better that the bikes you can get in a discount store.

This can present a problem. You can have a look at the Mongoose Montana Boy's Mountain Bike 24 Inch Wheels as it is a very good choice. The price is reasonable, it has good gears and it will stand up to the abuse it can expect from a nine year old boy.

Of course if you are a cyclist yourself, getting your son interested will mean you can have a fun family sport that can make sure you enjoy some quality family time. Cycling is fun and I think it is a good idea to get him involved as soon as possible so he can experience the fun.
