[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guardian has an odd braking system - it's a single lever that stops both front and back wheels. It stops fast. It's unfortunate you can't try one out in a store because it's not for everyone. In any case, I would want my kid to learn how to operate normal brakes. FWIW, I've seen many Guardian bikes on Buy Nothing. Maybe start there. We got a great Specialized bike for under $500 when it was on sale at Maverick in Leesburg.[/quote] Odd take on this - Guardian bikes are great bikes to learn on, the single brake is a lot safer and avoids kids flipping if they just hit one brake. I wouldn't keep a kid on a Guardian for their whole life, but my children literally taught themselves how to ride on these bikes. They're fantastic.[/quote]
