excellent bike
the bike performs very well. seems very high quality all around. The light weight is most welcome. It is a pricey thing, though!

Awesome bike, awesome company
The Frog is an excellent bike, and Ready Set Pedal was fantastic- went above and beyond, got the bike out a bit early, great communication, etc- couldn't recommend highly enough.

Excellent
I got this last year when RSP was the only place that I could find that had them in stock. After about an hour with the balance buddy attached, stretched out over three short trips, he was riding by himself for the first time yesterday. He loves it, and the customer service was excellent. I don't typically spend this type of money on something that I know he will grow out of sooner than later but I felt it was worth it to make learning easier and not discourage him from wanting to continue with it. It worked out, I am very happy with the purchase.

Awesome Bike
My almost 6 yr old is having a blast on his first geared bike. It didn’t take him long at all to figure out how and when to shift and he is pleased as punch that he can go faster with less effort. We took it to a bike shop to get the brakes adjusted and make sure it was good to go after putting it together and the bike shop guy was impressed with the quality as well.
