Parents and carers helping a young child learn to balance and ride, who want a handle to steady the bike from behind.
This guidance bar clamps to the seat post of a kids' bike and rises up behind the seat to a handle, so an adult can walk behind, steady and guide the bike, and give a push when small legs get tired. The bar is made from alloy and finished in black.
It is made in two pieces that join together and has an effective length of 67 cm. A textured grip gives you a secure hold, and because it fixes to the seat post, the bike's handlebars and frame are left alone.
Fixes to the seat post
A clamp holds the bar on the seat post behind your child, so nothing on the handlebars or frame needs changing.

Guidance bar
Great for
Maybe not for
The bar has an effective length of 67 cm and clamps to the seat post. Before fitting, check that the clamp suits your child's seat post and that the bar sits square and firm.
Clamp it firmly and stay close
Tighten the clamp so the bar cannot twist or slide on the seat post, and give it a firm tug before every ride. A guidance bar is a helping hand, not a replacement for supervision, so stay close and take it off once your child can start, stop and steer on their own.
