Brand Introduction: woom Bikes
Reflecting on your first childhoodbike, you might recall a heavy frame, coaster brakes, and gearing suited only for flat terrain. In recent years, companies like Woom have recognized that traditional children’s bikes often fail to meet the specific needs of young riders. Woom has addressed this by designing bikes that prioritize safety, comfort, and ergonomics for children.
Woom children’s bikes are packed with features that ensure safety and increase comfort for your smaller rider. Woom didn’t just scale down an adult bike, they designed the frame and components around every dimension where children are different.
Woom Advantages
- Lightweight frame and fork
- Lightweight, low spoke count wheels
- Ergonomically designed contact points (saddle, grips, pedals)
- Custom child-sized brake levers
- Steering limiters
- Adjustable stem (woom 4, 5, and 6)
- Simplified gearing
Quality Matters
The build quality of these bikes and durability mean that they will be passed along to the next rider when the first one graduates to the larger size. For years, we have seen these pass through the hands of multiple families in a neighborhood. Woom bikes also thrive on the secondary market with a healthy resale value.
Tern and Woom, Family Biking Stars

Many of our Tern families are Woom families as well. A not uncommon sight in the shop is a Woom 3 sticking out of a Cargo Hold bag after the smaller riding partner opted to take the last half ride on the back of a GSD. Woom bikes are designed to keep up with parents or bigger kids, so kids can start learning safe riding practices early on. With low weight and appropriate gearing for longer rides, kids can experience independent riding at a much younger age.
With the rise in family biking in DC and beyond, Tern and Woom are natural partners. They both share a commitment to high quality, long lasting components, and rider centered design.
