Both me and my wife have nice (light) bikes
My 10 y.o. son has one that is not so nice (kind of heavy, not so good brakes, bought a while ago for 10$ at a yard sale)
Recently we started biking more and more (cooler weather) and:
1: it's hard for him to bike for more than a few miles
2: it's scary to go fast (brakes are really hard to apply (at least for him))
3: it's hard for me to put the bike on the bike rack and then take it off (it's heavy as fuck, like 50 lbs or so)
Can you recommend anything:
1: relatively light
2: under 2-300 used
3: available with 14"-16" frame?
Thanks in advance!

I once put a motorcycle rear rotor and caliper (two piston) on the front tire of a bicycle... Stopped wayyy too good.
But assuming your not that extremely diy.. Best go with a super light frame and nice road tires to start out with.. Rim brakes are good for little kids (tho you should teach him to stuff his foot into his front tire to stop...)
Light frame, good road tires... And consider he cant keep up because hes got like 1/16th the potential energy then u or your wife...

Honestly I got a Schwinn "mountain" bike from walmart for road and light trail riding for pretty cheap. You might want to try looking there, you might just find a decent one that will work fine

His kid already has a shit bike, he doesn't need a worse one.
