Announcing the Special Edition STRIDER Licensed by Honda!

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Strider Sports Int’l, Inc. Announces The Release Of The Special Edition STRIDER™ No-Pedal Balance Bike licensed by Honda, for children 18 months to 5 years old.

Rapid City, South Dakota–

Building on the worldwide success of the original STRIDER bike (over 250,000 Sold to Date), the new Honda licensed STRIDER balance bike enables children as young as 18 months to begin their love of all things two-wheeled.

If your child can walk, the Honda licensed STRIDER will get your child cruising through the neighborhood and riding over dirt and grass with ease. The bike is mechanically the same as a standard STRIDER, but is customized with the official Honda graphics and the “Ride Red” logo along with a Honda #1 number plate.

“We’re excited and honored to be releasing the new Honda licensed Strider this Christmas,” Said Ryan McFarland, Strider Founder and Chief Enthusiast. “The color of Christmas this year isn’t red, it’s Honda Red!  We’re eager for all those little 18 month to 5 year old riders to open up Honda licensed Strider this Christmas…and with it, open up a whole new world of two-wheeled fun and adventure!”

Designed to be steady, stable, and safe, the Honda licensed STRIDER Bike is intended for children from ages 18 months to five years old.   The STRIDER weighs just 6.9 lbs., is easy to control and features an adjustable seat and handlebars to accommodate a growing child. Most importantly, the STRIDER bike teaches your child balance, coordination, and develops a glittering confidence not seen with tricycles or training wheel bikes.
