Ridgeback Serenity is a lightweight bike for young riders and is full of great features to help them on their wheeled adventure.

The Serenity will suit girls from about 10 or 11 years old. At this age they suddenly get lots of gears - 21 in this case, which will mean they should be able to make it up any hill that competitive dad may wish them to tackle. A mountain style bike, so it comes with a comfy suspension fork, low step aluminium frame, fat tyres and a nicely finished frame with attractive  graphics. Other alternatives include the MX26 or for a faster, lighter bike, the Dimension 26 is a great choice.
