First bicycle for my son with my Hive money!
We were planning to buy a bicycle for my son for a few months. But because of the home shifting process, we delayed a little so we can settle down in our new home and buy him his first bicycle!
Finally, we managed to find a bike shop and purchased our preferable bicycle. No need to say how excited our little one was.
Let me share my experience.
Our first job was to take an idea online of how much a bike would cost us as we didn't have any guess. It seemed like the brand one is a bit high but the quality is much better. We decided to buy something from the Phonix brand.
Then we search for bike shops near us. As I mentioned earlier we are new to this locality so don't have any idea about which shops would give us the best deal. We found out that the flagship store sells the same bike at a fixed price. But if we go to the local market we can have a negotiable price.
These photos are from two different stores. Both of them are local shops, not like air-conditioned highly maintained flagship stores. But they always promise to offer a good deal.
Moreover, you can guess by seeing the pieces of stuff here and there that they offer all different parts and accessories for the bikes. I have seen some e-bikes in the store and they seemed pretty attractive to me. I wish I could buy one!
They asked for a fair price for the bike we choose. It's usually $50-$100 depending on the brand. We went for the $65 one, it seemed pretty durable. Also, the bike comes with a 1-year warranty and free servicing so I guess we choose a good one.
This is the one we bought.
The red color of the bike was chosen by my son and we liked it too. The balancing wheels come with lights and all the other parts seemed good.
He doesn't know how to ride a bicycle now but hopefully, he will learn gradually.
After we brought the bike home.
The name of the shop is 'Cycle World', located in Mohammadpur, Dhaka. They usually ask for a fair price and don't do much negotiation. You can go for up to $5-15 less by negotiation, but not, much. But as I found you can always buy the best one from this store. And they also provide all the necessary services for the bikes.
Our shopping experience was good and my son was happy getting his first bike.
Have a great Market Friday everyone.

Hive is sure changing life over the world.
Congratulations on the purchase of your son's first bicycle! It looks high quality and should last him several years as he learns to ride the bike with training wheels first then without them. If you haven't yet, please purchase a helmet to protect his head/brain from traumatic injuries.
Is there a special day you plan to give your son the bicycle?

Thanks for the suggestion. Im thinking of buying protective gear for him after a few days when he will be ready to ride the bike outside.
Have a great day 😊
Wow! This is what hive can do. I'm also saving my earning for something valuable.
Save it, it will be worthy after a while. Best wishes for you.
Congratz on having the New bicycle for your son
It looks nice and 1 year service package is also good deal...
Hope he will learn quickly, to ride it with safety... 🙏🙏
Hope so. And thanks for your appreciation.
Welcome!
Have a wonderful day to You and your family 😊
Wow, I am sure your son's the happiest. Thanks to hive.
Yes be is. And yes, the thanks goes to Hive.
Congrats for the purchase!
I remember when I was just about 10 years old, I got sick a week before my birthday and my mother thought the reason of it is because I was jealous of the new bike of my brother, so she decided to buy me a bike also at my birthday HAHA
That is a good story, I appreciate your mom.
Thanks.
Ohooo, I can imagine the happy face of your son while y'all choosing a bike. Hope he learn soon how to ride it. I remember when I am still learning how to ride it. With my determination, I finally learn how to ride it └|∵|┐♪
Yes, he is very excited and happy.
I can not ride a bike, never learned it. But seeing him practice learning, making me wish for have my own bike!
I think its not too late for you, why not buy an adult bike and try it 🤩
There is no nearby place to practice but the street. Im too shy to try that in my licality. 😊😊
Great choice to get your son a bike. I love the color and the multicolor spokes. You seem to have made an informed decision with doing some research. Everyone around me is into cycling and they buy there bikes at shops where negotiating and trade ins are allowed. It's becoming a big industry here. It will be fun watching him learn :)
Thanks for appreciating. People are going for e-bike nowadays, if not them at least for bike. I believe for environmental as well as health reason and that is a hood sign.
You said it right, it is fun to watch him learn.
That's wonderful! I hope he has many fun biking adventures on his new bicycle. That's great that you purchased it with Hive.
I hope so.
Yes, it gave me a feeling of fulfillment after buying that with my hive money.
Congratulations to your son. Here in Nigeria, we could get a bicycle within the range of $65 - $100 also. I hope to save up to buy one for myself soon.
Congratulations to him once again and I'm sure he'll learn fast
That's a good price, I believe. I wish for the best for you on purchasing your own bike.
Thank you
congratulations on your purchase! great choice! I like this color and the bike itself as a whole looks very bright and festive. 😃
Thanks anlot for your appreciation. We liked the bike as well.
Many congratulations on using Hive earnings to purchase your son's bicycle. It must be a nice feeling to buy something tangible from your earnings. Nice bicycle.
It really gives me a feeling of fulfillment whenever I spend my hive money on something like this.
Thanks for your appreciation.
I can imagine😀
Congratulations! It pleases me to see people doing good things with their Hive! Saving it is great, but, it is always good to see your hard work enjoyed!
I think you did smart shopping by buying it from the local merchant who will remember you and your son when you go back and buy something. It feels more personal and he will take good care of you. Better than big box stores whenever I can!
I am sure your son is overjoyed with the bike, what a fancy one he got! I love those colorful wheels that will be fun to see when they are spinning. You did not mention a bike helmet, but, please consider purchasing one before he rides the bike. I cannot tell you how many head injuries have been prevented. 💙 It is actually the law for children and adults here in the US.
When he starts riding, it will be as much fun for you as it is for him! Enjoy!!! Thank you for sharing this experience with us!
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
Please drop your link on my #MarketFriday post here Thank you so much!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Isn't it? I'm so happy to put my hive money in some good cause. My son is practicing and his faces says it all how much he is enjoying it.
For now, he is only riding the bike inside of our apartment, not on the streets or outdoor. When he will reach a good balance we will sure buy a helmet. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
Hopefully everything will work fine.
Have a great day.
The bike looks nice. Perfect for your son.
I agree. Thanks.
How cool you could buy a bicycle from Hive earnings! Well done!
