Treat your little cyclist to their own personalised bike today, perfect for the back-to-school routine or Christmas. With Halfords bike accessories, there’s plenty of choice for kids to express themselves creatively while keeping active. Personalising your kid’s bike allows for some one-on-one bonding time and encourages cycling habits that lead to many health and confidence-boosting benefits.
With a bike as special and unique as them, your child is bound to fall in love with bike riding – whether they’re already a pro or just getting started.
Aesthetics
So, you’ve got the bike, but does it feel a little unloved? Is it plain compared to your child’s fun-loving personality? Tailor it to them with our huge range of kids bike accessories and watch as they form life-long skills and a love of the outdoors.
Stickers
When purchasing certain kids bikes, our online checkout comes with the option of adding a personalised name sticker, designed specifically with the same colours and theme as the bike. From the Carrera Vengeance Junior Mountain Bike to the Apollo Fire Chief Kids’ Bike, we offer name stickers across loads of our bikes so that every kid can feel special.
Streamers
If you’re looking to add some extra fun and colour to your kid’s bike, why not attach some playful ribbon streamers to the handlebars. Quick and simple to attach, you and your kid can choose between a pink and white or blue and green combination. Or combine the colour palettes with our sweet windmill designed also to attach to handlebars – watch as it spins as your child pedals away.
Baskets and seats
Does your child like collecting bits and bobs on their journey? Do they have a precious teddy bear they take everywhere with them? Then they’d surely love their own bike basket to gather precious gems and magical wands (or pebbles and sticks).
With different styles to choose from, there’s one perfect for the bike and age of your kid. We carry stylish wicker baskets, white metal baskets (with pops of colourful butterflies) and durable plastic woven baskets, all designed to attach easily and securely over the handlebars via a universal fit.
Or, if your child is a nervous bike rider or could benefit from some company, treat them to their own attachable doll seat. A staple in many childhoods, kids love having a dolly seat for an extra touch of imagination during their adventures.
Water bottles
Keep up your kid’s hydration levels with an essential bottle holder that fits snugly onto the frame of their bike. Ensure easy access to their juice or water as they carry out their daily adventures.
Spokies
‘Spokies’ or those little beads you clip on to your wheel spokes, are a great addition for a pop of colour and help to make your child visible. Choose between footballs, hearts and rainbows or bright stars as your kid’s personality shines through their bike. As affordable as they are fun, spokies are a great addition to brighten up kids bikes.
If your little one rides their bike back from school, particularly during the darker nights, spoke lights are a fabulous option for providing some extra safety and visibility. With batteries included and motion-triggered blue and red flashing, purchase some additional peace of mind that your kid is easy to spot, even in low lighting. We also carry bike valve cap lights that light up pink or blue when they sense movement for maxed out radiance.
Safety
While adding some aesthetic value to your kid’s bike is fun, it can be more satisfying to know that you’re also ramping up the safety features. Most safety equipment is a necessity to have. But that doesn’t mean that safety can’t still be fun!
Bike helmets
With many sizes to choose from, including first years riders (44-50cm) to juniors (52-59cm), enjoy teaching your child safe riding habits as they pick out their favourite helmet. With fun designs from pink florals to bold, graphic styles, they’ll be excited to pop their helmet on before they even reach their bike. Make safety fun and explore our huge range of kids bike helmets.
Gloves and pads
Encourage extra safety for your child with our great range of gloves, mitts and elbow & knee pads. Every kid takes a few tumbles when learning to ride a bike so save them (and you) the tears with a set of protective pads, perfect for exposed areas. With comfortable and soft linings, elasticated straps and hard, robust outer shells, our elbow and knee pads are designed to last and protect. Otherwise, our mitts come in a large variety of designs made from a breathable, flexible material. The padded palms and silicone grips prioritise comfort, safety and control to further your child’s budding confidence.
Bells, horns and sirens
Make some noise for our bike accessories designed to give your little one a voice! With shiny bells, noisy horns and loud sirens, your child can make themselves known to walkers, drivers and other cyclists. They’re easy to operate for little hands and with our large range, there’s plenty of colours to pick from. Although, you may want to wait until you’re at the park (and not your back garden) before you attach that motorbike noise maker…
Puncture prevention
If your child is older and setting out on adventures with their friends, rest assured that their bike won’t let them down. Our range of kids bikes are built to last and come with a 1 year Kids’ CycleCare plan, including bike checks and 2 puncture repairs. But why not take advantage of our puncture prevention service so that damage is averted before it’s carried out?
Using a premium-quality and non-toxic Slime bike tube sealant, enjoy strengthened inner tubes and a puncture-resistant ride. Save your little one from getting stranded with a flat – this service comes with a 2-year warranty and seals multiple punctures. Please note that you should still check the tyre’s pressure. Unfortunately, this service is only possible for Schrader valves.
Encourage a love for bike riding and watch as your child’s confidence, balance and independence blossom. With a personalised bike, they’ll feel like the coolest kid in town. Whether it’s family bike rides, travelling to school or just cycling up and down the garden, your child will love exploring outdoors with a bike as special as them.
