Just wanted to share my Strider success story. I have 2 year old twins (Aidan and Jocelyn) and last Spring I saw the Strider videos and knew I had to have them for my kids. I am an avid cyclist and was anxious to get them on two wheels as soon as they were ready. I bought the bikes right away and was excited for the kids to try them out. At first they were not sure what to think and really found it challenging to ride them. Granted they were just over 2 years old. I decided they would ride them when they wanted and left it at that. Meanwhile they continued to ride their trikes for a few months until I showed them the Strider videos on your website. That very day, my son said, “I want to ride my strider bike likes the kids on the video,” so off we went. Within a couple days he was starting to get the hang of it. Now just barely 1-2 weeks later, he is flying!! He absolutely loves it. I am surprised how he can manuever it through tall grass, gravel, pavement, and dirt. Apparently the geometry and weight is just right. He also likes popping wheelies. I realized tonight though that I need the brakes because we went for a ride down a little hill and he was cruising and had to stop with his feet. It worked find but would have been easier with the optional brake. Now, my daughter (who loves her trike) is asking to ride her pink Strider. Life is good! Thanks.
