We have some amazingly talented distributors around the world. In Japan they are consistently pushing the envelope and they’ve done it yet again!
At a recent trade show they set up this really cool display and demo area. A couple things caught our eye in the YouTube clip below: 1) the track they have set up looks amazingly fun. 2) the display area is super cool. 3) Check out the custom painted and accesorized baby blue Strider. Customization is huge in the biking world so why not with Striders?
Keep up the great work Strider fans in Japan! Everybody else let us know how you’re customizing your Kiddo’s Strider on our FaceBook wall…We love to hear from you.

This last Summer Ryan, Strider founder and chief enthusiast, ran across a 1974 Yamaha TY80 for sale at Vintage Motorcycle Days in the swap meet area.
To most people this looks like a cool little dirt bike that has seen better days. To Ryan it looks like much more! This is the same as his very first dirt bike when he was a boy of 5 1/2. His father Joe was owner of a Yamaha dealership in Indiana, which spurred Ryan’s love for all things two-wheeled.
It was very tempting for Ryan to purchase this bike for nostalgia’s sake but he couldn’t figure
out how to get it into his carry-on bag for the flight home!
Ohhhh, man I wish I could go back in time.

At least a couple inches doesn’t seem like much to us. We, here at Strider have a snow prototype that we’ve talked about previously. When it snows in Nashville they are quick to adapt! We ran across this cool modification on the Nashville Bicycle Lounge Facebook page. Rather than build skis they added some fatter tires to help their little ones stay on top of the white stuff.
We love to see what you guys do with your Strider! Whether its adding bells, streamers, horns or some sweet fat snow tires. Keep It Up, and make sure to post photos and stories of the results on our Facebook page.

Pretty soon you won’t be able to find any Striders with “Patent Pending” on them anywhere. On December 14th our unique design with frame integrated footrests was awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark office! Here’s to a great end to the year and an even better 2011!

With Blizzards all around the country we’ve been looking for things to do inside! Mike; our graphic design guru, mountain bike friend, and father of a few Strider riders , thought of this interesting use of the excess bubble wrap he had laying around from all the presents he bought this holiday season. Tell me that doesn’t look like fun!

We’ve got some snow on the ground here in Striderville, so we thought it would be a good time to preview another prototype we’ve been working on. We hope that you enjoy it…we know Bode does!
