Now that my son is old enough to ride a bicycle, I have been looking around for bikes that he might like, and in particular where to buy bikes online. Since one of his favorite television characters is Thomas the Train, I set out to look for Thomas the Train bikes.
When I was trying to buy bikes online, I found some websites that sold Thomas and Friends themed bicycles through Toys 'R Us, but when I went to Toys 'R Us's website, they were nowhere to be found. I guess that doesn't mean that they don't have them occasionally, but when I looked they weren't there. They did have some big wheels/tricycle type rides, but no actual bicycles.
I checked around Amazon to see if they had some Thomas the Tank Engine bikes, and I still didn't see any actual bicycles, just some small, plastic tricycles, such as this Lights and Sound Trike.
It's too bad that when you want to buy bikes online, and you want Thomas the Train bikes that they aren't more readily available. Like I said, you can find them, but I had trouble finding them from an actual store I had heard of. I'd always rather buy anything from a store that I have a history with.
The main reason for wanting the familiarity of a store is that when you purchase something online, you'd like to have a way to return it as easily as possible, and sometimes that is taking the item back to the store yourself.
Have any of you found good Thomas the Train bikes, especially when you were trying to buy bikes online?
