birthday gifts for 6-year-old boy

Six is the birthday a boy wants to go fast and go far, and the birthday gifts for a 6-year-old boy that deliver both almost always have two wheels. A lightweight 18-inch bike with hand brakes and maybe a first gear is the right fit for a six-year-old, handing him the speed and the range to own the whole block. Hammering the cranks down the sidewalk sharpens his balance, timing and the independence that comes with going places under his own steam, and it sparks the kind of family riding that turns a Saturday into a loop around the neighborhood. It is active fun that builds fitness without ever feeling like exercise, and a well-built frame keeps rolling right through a growth spurt. A bike is the timeless six-year-old birthday present because it hands a boy freedom. See our sixth-birthday bikes for boys and find the ride he will love.
