And Now…Some Reviews

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

We just wanted to highlight a couple great reviews today.  We love hearing how STRIDER Bikes are loved by their little riders and allow for their parents to get out on their bikes as well. One of our goals is the foster a love for everything two wheeled…it seems to be working!

“I purchased this bike as a gift for my son’s second birthday. He absolutely loves it, and rides it almost every single day. He has bumped into things, or knocked it down, but it is very durable and has no scratches or signs of wear. It is a high quality bike, and is very light and slim. It stores easily in a garage, in the house, and even travels well and fits easily in the car/truck. My son has a blast riding this bike, and it has improved his balance tremendously!”    ~M. Foote

“These bikes are awesome! we got one for my 2yr old last christmas, and then this summer we bought another one for my younger son. They both love it and can bike on all on their own. they both learned how to balance very quickly and love going up and down little hills. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone, it makes the learning process way faster, they don’t have to do training wheels, they already know how to balance, and they love riding a big kid’ looking bike. I even get to ride my bike with them too!” ~Abby

STRIDER World Championship On ESPN Brazil

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

We had a great time in Sarasota for the Strider World Championship last month.  We’ve posted results and  photos from the race. Last week we got an email from Luciano with ESPN Brazil. He sent a link to some of the footage he shot of the racing action, trick contest and some of the fun on the beach. If you understand Portuguese the video may make more sense, but the kids riding their Striders don’t need a lot of narration!  They are having a blast.

How To Avoid Water Bottle Confusion

Monday, October 24th, 2011

Ran across this fun video the other day and thought it was worth sharing.  This poor little guy just wants to be like Dad who has a handy-dandy water bottle holder on his bike.

We’ve got a great line of accessories (including a water bottle with holder) that would make great stocking stuffers!

What Am I?

Charlie, the twisted mind behind such classics as the “Strider Temper Tantrum” and “Double Trouble”, has been welding and painting this odd looking contraptions at Strider HQ the last couple days. We’ve been a little scared thinking it was some sort of new tool to keep us from goofing off too much.
