The difference is in the weight, with all the hills in Calgary it takes more juice for them to get going. Even some of the bikes at Bow Cycle are just as heavy as the Walmart/CT special. I think the Specialized were pretty light, I would look on Kijiji for a Specialized.
For guys with 2-5 year olds, I got those run bikes for my kids last year and my 3 year old was riding a 2 wheeler by the end of the summer and my 2 year old was close (had the technique but not the patience).
