Hi
I was wondering whether anyone had any idea where we could get a childs 24" wheel size bike from, we live in Lagos but will travel to anywhere in the Algarve to get one. We are able to get 20" and 26" sizes but have yet to find a 24" size. Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Louise

| My friends buy most of their toys for the kids from Argos and use Direct Transport to ship them over.

If you'd consider a second hand one you could try the Algarve123 paper we've bought quite a few things from there. Some of the hypermarkets also sell bikes- we bought one from Modelo in Loulé but I haven't been there for a while so I don't know if they're still selling them
