Pondo 24 is our new performance kids' bike that allows kids to keep up with mom and dad. It has a suspension fork that actually works, a lightweight aluminum frame with some sweet components and it shaves more than 5 pounds off of our current kids' bike! The best kept secret is that it even fits small adults. Check out the new 2009 Novara Ponderosa 24'' Bike in this video.
