birthday gifts for 8-year-old boy

An eight-year-old boy has energy to burn and a birthday is the right excuse to hand him the machine that burns it, which is why a bicycle tops the birthday gifts for an 8-year-old boy list. A 20-inch geared bike fits an eight-year-old perfectly, with hand brakes that bite and enough gears to clear the hill, session the pump track and stretch the family ride a few blocks farther. Going fast under his own steam, dropping a gear, pumping a roller, threading a corner, stacks his fitness, balance and the kind of confidence a console never hands a kid, and every bit of it happens in real weather instead of in front of a screen. A quality frame also rides out the growth spurt around the corner. Nothing else hands an eight-year-old boy this much freedom. See our eighth-birthday bikes for boys and pick the ride he will love.
