Deuter Children's Ultra Bike Rucksack

...to the latest and greatest names in cycling but when Isla Bikes was mentioned in several cycling magazines and websites, I thought it would be a good place to start. Isla Bikes has acknowledged what appears to be a gap in the market in that good quality, attractive and practical kid's bikes that are built for endurance -particularly my son's age are not easy to come by. ***Who are Isla Bikes*** Isla is not only a seasoned cyclist, but had also been designing adult-sized bikes for years before she recognized the struggle young cyclists faced trying to maneuver bikes that weigh almost as much as they do and are stiff and difficult to handle.
