Do kids still have pushbikes for Christmas

[*Wallace* 333]

Walked through Endcliffe up through porter brook today..nothing but kids on bikes and joggers.

 

That must have been really annoying

Bit cold for push bikes in Sheffield at this time of year .

Is it because years ago a new bike was THE present to get,nowadays kids have them when its not birthdays or xmas.When I'm on my travels I see bikes dumped that I would have loved to have when I was a kid.

They don't know they are born nowadays .

 

When we were kids we used make our own contraptions using the wheels of old prams .

 

I think nowadays another adult is just as likely to buy a bike for a gift for another adult for Christmas as one for a child .

In the past on Christmas day you could not fail to see loads of kids up and down the street proudly riding their new push bikes/ bicycles in recent years including this year I've not seen a single one it looks like they are becoming I thing of the past.

Yes, kids still get bikes for Christmas.

Very interesting this thread as I was nominated driver from last night (and today ) why me During dropping off the still intoxicated passengers I commented that years ago we would see bright new bikes, roller skates and scooters etc on the go but nothing at all this year

 

I did see some plank on East Bank Road about 12:30 on his back wheel turning down Eastern Avenue, no helmet - I would be right to assume no licence or insurance I was behind him and slowed right down he's not having my no claims jobby

On his back wheel? What license would be need?

Thats all well and good but we have to move on, and thankfully we have but there is a lack of kids on bikes today
