A small adult frame puts the bars too far away, which pushes their weight onto their hands on a descent, and the brake levers are set for an adult grip. A rider who cannot brake comfortably rides more slowly and enjoys it less, without ever saying why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eA bike that fits properly does more to keep someone riding at this stage than anything else you can buy them.
