As a company, Frog Bikes is always looking for ways to improve its bikes, making them stronger, easier to maintain, and able to adapt as children grow, to make them last even longer.
So, we interviewed our R&D Manager, Kris Kulwicki to see what he had to say about how adaptable Frog bikes really are...
Have you ever considered old railway lines for your gravel biking route? They really do make for a scenic ride! From the abandoned lines that meander through the beautiful countryside to the dismantled tracks that offer industrial heritage. These cycle paths provide mostly flat, off-road, traffic-free routes that are ideal for whole-family bike adventures.
In 1963, the Beeching Cuts, a plan to increase the efficiency of the National Railway system in Great Britain, devised a report to outline the underutilised stations and railway lines, with the end result being the closure of thousands of stations and their associated lines. However, over the coming decades, local authorities began to repurpose much of this land, with many of the lines being transformed into walking and cycling routes.

Whatever your age, learning to cycle opens up a world of opportunities! Cycling keeps us fit, reduces our carbon footprint and helps us look after our mental wellbeing. From cycling to school or work to avoid getting stuck in traffic, to replacing short car journeys with cycling to help save the planet. Learning to cycle is an essential life skill, and here’s a great way to get started!
Being part of a cycling club is not just great for adults, but for children too. With fuel prices having increased and better weather returning, what better way to travel than to cycle. Not only is it lighter on the pocket but excellent for being greener and improving mental well-being - and that goes for kids as well!

A common mistake when searching for a child’s bike is to opt for a budget bike. Unfortunately, what many people don’t realise is that budget bikes are not designed specifically for kids’ anatomies, they are in fact simply a scaled-down version of adults bikes. This means that they can be as heavy as the child - which can lead to tears and frustration at not being able to cycle.

Having access to a bike is a wonderful thing, it helps kids build confidence, learn new skills and have fun whilst on two wheels. But with new bikes being in high demand and the industry currently suffering low stock levels, many are looking at alternative avenues to get their kids on bikes.
