New Bikes, and Fall, and Fun!




This post is sponsored by Huffy; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

In our family, we love to encourage being active outdoors and love to spend time as a family playing outside, going for walks, and now, riding our bikes! I think a new bike (and new helmet too!) is such a fun gift that is always a hit in our family!

Hudson learned how to ride a bike without training wheels this summer, and has been begging to have his sister go on bike rides with us…which meant it was time to get Sadie her own set of wheels! With the weather being so nice we decided to give the kids a special gift a little early! We have zero chill and couldn’t wait a second longer to give the kids NEW BIKES! Isn’t that what childhood dreams are made of?

Both kids got these super cool Huffy EZ Build bikes and were SO pumped to open them up!

To say Sadie was a little excited about her pink bike would be the understatement of the year. Even little sister was excited and wanted in on the action!

Girlfriend was THRILLED to have a pink bike of her very own. She was bouncing up and down with excitement and kept saying “It’s pink mama! It’s my favorite color!”.

Sadie watched in amazement as daddy built her bike within minutes! These EZ Build bikes from Huffy are easy and hassle-free to build! You don’t need special tools or a long list of instructions. Jon had both kid’s bikes assembled in a few minutes and the kids even got to help.

The EZ Build bikes by Huffy feature a quick-release seat, so it’s a snap to adjust it to the right height to maintain the right fit. And they are really easy for kids just learning to ride a bike! Both bikes are single speed, made with a steel frame, and designed for durability, comfort, and most of all fun!

Hudson is straight up obsessed with riding his bike. He could go all day long. And it amazes me how quickly he learned! Once he was ready, he was ready and it was easy! I love watching him zoom by! Huffy’s promise is “we make fun”…and they sure live up to that mission! We are having SO MUCH FUN riding our bikes. It’s the perfect activity for a pretty fall day!

Sadie is a little bit more timid about riding her bike. She still wants mommy or daddy to stand right next to her when she rides. She is typically my child that needs just a little more time when trying a new activity, so I know that with some more practice, she’ll be more confident in no time!

I love that Sadie’s bike came with training wheels….and she loves that they are pink!

Hudson has been so patient with Sadie while she learns to ride her bike. He really is the best big brother.

I can’t wait for Sadie to be more confident in her bike riding so that we can all go on rides as a family. We love this little path by our house and right now it is GORGEOUS! I have such fond memories of riding my bike as a kid and can’t wait to create new memories with my little family.

Hudson loves his red Huffy bike! His bike is the 16” (perfect for kids 4-6) and Sadie’s is the 12” with training wheels (perfect for kids 3-5).

These budget friendly and super durable bikes are available at Walmart! You can view the wonderful selection of Huffy EZ Build bikes here. They would make the perfect gift for the child in your life this holiday season. Wouldn’t it be SO FUN to find a new bike under the tree on Christmas morning????

    I loved teaching my twins how to ride their bikes. They felt so accomplished once they mastered it!

    It is about time someone came up with a bike that can be assembled without tools. Way to go, Huffy!! Your kids are adorable. Love the red hair!

    I love that these bikes are easy to build! We’ve had a Huffy for years and my third child is riding it, so we know they last.
