The balance bike is a simple design to teach anyone at any age how to steer and balance on two wheels without training wheels. Since the bike has no pedals or other complicated forms of propulsion, most riders come to find that riding a balance bike is as easy as walking. Riders do not have to fear when they are on a balance bike because they can place their feet solidly on the ground. As the rider progresses at his or her own pace, they can join in on the excitement of riding a bike with others and even change to a traditional bicycle if they are ready. Through ten years of development, manufacturing improvements, riding, observation, testing and even racing, Strider Bikes has created a bike that allows for anyone to ride no matter their ability, as well as an easy and more successful transition to a pedal bike. Strider specializes specifically in Balance Bikes and in the process the company has developed enhanced features, including footrests for the rider to use for gliding. With Strider’s Four Learn-to-Ride steps, riders can jump on a bike and get moving as soon as the bike is set up. As lovers of riding bikes, Strider loves inspiring anyone to ride. Strider’s mission is to build lightweight, efficient, all-terrain bikes that develop two-wheeled balance, coordination, and confidence. With 1 million sold worldwide, Strider hopes to continue to reach families around the world.
