Strider 12 Inch Sport Balance Bike
Introduce your tot to the fun of cycling as soon as they can walk!
A balance bike is simply the best way for a child to learn balance and learn to ride a bike.
A Strider balance bikes is a very simple bike designed to teach young children how to steer and balance on two wheels. Striders are designed with only foot propulsion to teach the fundamentals of riding. Because they have no pedals or other complicated forms of propulsion, most children find riding a balance bike as easy as walking. When the fundamentals of balance and steering are mastered, transitioning to a bicycle with pedals is straightforward.

Best investment for our grandson
We bought a strider for our 2 year old grandson on his birthday and he just loves it. He insists on riding it wherever he goes and after a year of use we are confident we will be able to completely skip the training wheel stage and get him into a pedal type bike. Thanks for a great product !!!

Great bikes
We bought a strider 12 for our 2 1/2 yr old, and a 14 w/ pedals for our 4 yr old. Good quality and the kids love them.
