Balance bike, training bike, walking bike, running bike—The Strider™ has many
descriptive names, but they all equal great fun for one to fi ve year old children. As
simple as it may appear—no
pedals, no chain or sprockets, no training wheels—the
Strider™ will quickly become the most important ‘toy’
you will ever purchase
for your child or grandchild. No matter what description you choose to give the
Strider™,
it is most of all an amazing educational vehicle.
A curious child, without any adult instruction, will instinctively
know to straddle
his or her Strider™ and immediately begin the learning process. The bike’s low
seat
height allows the child to plant both feet fi rmly on the ground, providing both
confi dence and control. Coordination,
motor skills, balance, and strength will all
steadily improve as the child continues to experiment with the Strider™.
In a few
short weeks, even the youngest riders will learn to steer and balance their Strider™,
lift it over
obstacles, and move along varied terrain. At this point, the Strider™ will
become a ‘running bike’
as the youngster learns to take longer and longer strides for
greater speed.
The Strider™ is more than just
a teaching tool. Long after your child has learned
to ride a bicycle (sometimes within just a few weeks) he or she will
still turn to
the Strider™ for sheer fun! Due to the Strider’s™ puncture-proof, foam tires and
super
light weight, it can go over any terrain-rocks, grass, logs, etc. - not just a paved
bike path. The Strider™ can
be ridden in the yard, on the bike path, in the woods,
virtually anywhere you walk. Once accomplished on the Strider™,
your child will
be confi dent on hills, forest trails, even small jumps. The Strider™ will turn family
outings
from drudgery to total family fun. No longer will you have to wait for a
dawdling toddler. With the Strider™ you
are guaranteed a brisk walk and often a
jog. In fact, your Strider™ rider may often ride circles around you. There
will be no
more having to carry a tired, frustrated child back to the car. With the Strider™,
everyone can
attain fi tness from family outings. Lightweight and with no grease,
cables, pedals, or chain, the Strider™ is
a snap to throw in the back of the family car.
Invest in a Strider™ and discover how much more fun it is to play
with your child!
