RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) – A South Dakota man says his training bike for kids is catching on around the world.

Ryan McFarland of Rapid City makes Strider bikes. The bike has no pedals; instead, riders propel themselves with their feet while sitting down, like a scooter with a saddle.

McFarland says he sold more than 20,000 bikes last year and expects orders to triple this year. He says he’s expanding his business and recently hired people to handle international sales.

McFarland says the Strider does a better job of teaching young kids to balance and steer than training wheels or tricycles.
