Football, soccer, and video games are all great fun, but nothing befits childhood more than pedaling away on a bike. Kids, by virtue of their kidhood, are competitive cyclists. Most common, of course, is the race vs. bro/sis. But the intensity is just the same for solo rides -- making believe they're toe-to-toe vs. Lance in the Tour or imagining they're at light speed in the spacecraft of their favorite sci-fi film.

Whether it's going up and down the street 100 times on a blue sky Saturday or cruising with the parents, pedaling like mad is an essential virtue of the single-digit years. We celebrate that here, with our kids version of the Competitive Cyclist T-shirt. It comes in four sizes, for kids aged 2 to 8+. It's made by American Apparel in soft 100% cotton, so they'll out-grow it before they'll wear it out.
