From what I understood the metal of the bicycle got charged. This can happen to certain metals and then when you touch them you feel an electrical shock. If you touch another metal component you can lead the current on.

Somehow the bicycle and the kid get a static charge. This is not dangerous, but very unpleasant. It could also destroy electronics like cellphones. To get rid of this problem you could use something that discharges the bicycle to earth. This could be a flexible cable or some other conducting material connected to some metalic part of the bicycle, hanging down and touching the ground.
