[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would be for a 2nd grader who is outgrowing his [b]heavy Walmart bike[/b]. I'm a weakling and the idea of a lighter bike for transport is appealing to me. Is the Woom 5 worth it in your opinion? The other I'm looking at is Guardian. I have not seen either in person.[/quote]
Get that kid some steak and muscles. :D Poor kid. 
And no, at that age stick to cheapo used garage sale or pawn shop bikes, not even fancy new WalMart bikes.[/quote]

I've looked at used near me and Marketplace, but people still want $150-250 for a bike. And not knowing anything at all about bikes I'm wary that we'll take it based on a short test drive and then a week later have the brakes stop working or find out the chain is messed up. And then we'll have to put more money into repairs (which can cost a lot). At that point, I would rather we'd have just bought a new $300-400 bike.[/quote]

A new $300-400 bike is one thing, but Woom bikes that will fit a second grader are going to be $650-900. Seriously overpriced. Go to your local bike shop and look at Trek and Specialized kids bikes- you’ll find bikes in the $400 range and they’ll be available to perform maintenance on the bike as needed.[/quote]
