The Islabikes Cnoc 16 is a great bike for children starting out on their cycling journey.  It has everything you want from a first bike in terms of child sized components, longevity and is very lightweight (5.6kg).

Islabikes are so well made there will be plenty of Cnoc 16’s available secondhand for a long time.

Mudguards, off-road tyres and a kickstand are available for this bike, and these can still be bought direct from Islabikes who now only trade in spares and accessories.
