Schwinn Iris
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
A number of parents preferred the Iris to other character-themed options, which often didn’t hold the interest of childrens’ changing interests. Parents of girls aged 3 to 6 reported that the bike was a good fit. Although the frame seems to be of solid construction, this comes at a price. At 28lbs, it’s heavier than some adult bikes, making it difficult for kids to pick up if it were to topple over. If you’re after something that’s retro, colorful and adaptable to fast-growing tots, the Iris is worth considering.Expert Reviews
