Kids Bicycles and Tricycles for Christmas Gifts !

Holiday greetings from the fellas at Colonel's! As you can see, Santa was good to us and sent dozens of shiny new Christmas bikes for us to transfer from our tree to yours! Come on down and get trikes, push bikes and 12", 16", 20" and 24" childrens models for all ages. With a week (or less) to go until Christmas is here, now is the time to get the kids something they want.
If you enlarge the photo you might notice that Colonel's Bikes own personal Santa (Sir Richard Chambers) brought us all engraved crystal scotch glasses with 18 year old single malt to fill them with (on the deck of the pink tricycle). Scotch not included with tricycle purchase.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a pink trike.
