We bought the bikes from a bike shop in Tabanan.
Toko Sepeda, Agung Jaya, Jl By Pass Kediri #84, Tabanan. Ph 814959
Our girls are 7, 10, 11 and 12.
We bought 2 smaller bikes in the mid price range, 300,000rp and the larger bikes for the taller girls, 370,000rp each. Discounted down to 1,625,000rp from 1,725,000rp. I chose bikes with better gears and made of higher quality metal/alloy stuff. Hopefully they will last a little longer.
Linda spoke quite fine English and they delivered the bikes to both of the schools for us. Unfortunately the bikes were waiting for us already delivered when we arrived at 10am and I expect the children were wondering how they were for.
They will already know how to get to SD2 and SD3 Sobangan but if you sponosr children at other schools they may need directions. Make sure you have Agung's mobile number, or I passed my mobile over to Linda after ringing our driver WayanM who has driven us to the schools a number of times and he gave them directions.
I have wanted to buy bikes for a while but wasnt sure if I may offend or upset parents. I asked Agung from Rotary in March and he said he felt there would be no risk of causing any negative issues.
