Support Talbot Thrive’s Kids Programs by Buying a Bike!
Help Us Get Kids Rolling 🚲
Every child deserves the joy and freedom of riding a bike. At our Rolling Rodeos, kids learn bike safety and gain confidence on two wheels—and thanks to our free bike matching program, they also have the chance to have a bike of their own.
Up until now, we’ve relied on Pedal Power Kids to bring their van of bikes to each event. But to keep Rolling Rodeos thriving here in Talbot County, Talbot Thrive needs bikes of our own.
By donating a bike, you’re not just giving a child a set of wheels—you’re giving them independence, exercise, and a lifelong love of riding. With your support, we can reach more kids, create safer riders, and build a healthier, more active community.
Join us. Donate a bike today and help us keep the wheels turning for Talbot’s kids.
Made in the USA - Guardian Bikes
The Guardian 16 Inch Bike has a lightweight steel frame, making it easy to control while still durable enough to outlast your kid. Like every Guardian bike, it’s kid-tested to be safe and fun to ride. $249 plus shipping.
Why Guardian Bikes?
Guardian believes kids deserve bikes that are every bit as well-built as adult models—but thoughtfully designed just for them. That’s why their bikes aren’t simply scaled-down versions of adult frames. Instead, they feature kid-specific geometry—narrower pedal spacing, smaller grips, and a lower center of gravity—for a safer, more comfortable, and confidence-boosting ride.
Unlike most kids’ bikes—95% of which are made and shipped from Asia—every Guardian bike is proudly built in the USA. Local manufacturing not only supports American jobs but also helps reduce carbon emissions by cutting out long-distance shipping. It also gives them more control over sustainable production practices, so families can feel good about their purchase.
And above all, Guardian bikes put safety first. Their exclusive SureStop braking system uses a single brake lever that engages the rear wheel first, then smoothly shifts power to the front wheel. This design allows for faster, safer stops—without the risks of coaster brakes (which take too long to stop) or traditional brakes (which can send kids over the handlebars).
Guardian bikes aren’t just built for kids—they’re built for kids to ride with confidence, safety, and joy.
