Warning: Great review followed by a video with some nasty trike/training wheel crashes.
“We bought two Striders for our 2.5 year old twins who had been really struggling with trying to peddle a tricycle. Within a couple of days they were zipping down the slight incline on our gravel driveway, and really balancing with no adult training required.
We saw them crash many times trying to negotiate riding a tricycle, but they really learned to balance quite easily on the Strider bike. It is well and thoughtfully engineered, strong, but light in weight for small kids.
5 out of 5 stars! Highly recommended!!!!“ — (Jay in Ohio)

That’s what the graphic on this great video introducing Striders to North Carolinians says. While 63 degrees sounds good (as we sit inside on another chilly night in South Dakota) the story sounds even better! The only thing we can find to disagree with is the bike mechanic saying that Striders are “probably better than training wheels.” As most of you know already…Striders Rule, Training Wheels Drool!

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!

Any Strider fans that ride motorcycles or have watched the enormously popular ‘On Any Sunday‘ movie know of the legendary Malcolm Smith!
Here’s a classic view of Smith in the Trailer for ‘On Any Sunday’ (at 51 seconds in)
Malcolm was the Vintage Motorcycle Days Grand Marshall this year. This is one of the great events put on by the American Motorcycle Association each year. Ryan, the inventor and head Strider enthusiast, attended the event and had a chance to visit with Malcolm and even get a few Striders autographed! We’re donating these bikes and auctioning them off with all the proceeds going to support the Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation which funds an orphanage in Mexico. Here’s your chance to get your little one riding, own a very unique Strider with a fun back story, and help out some little kids in Mexico who’ve had a really tough start in life. A perfect way to celebrate the holidays… bid generously, it’s for a great cause. Click here for the Ebay auction sites: Red Strider and Yellow Strider!

KTM Strider PREbikes have just hit the U.S. shoreline and are enroute to our distribution center! The bikes will be up on our webstore and ready for purchase at high noon on Wednesday, November 3rd. Mark your calendar… these bikes are sure to go fast (pun intended!).
MURRIETA, CA (October 20, 2010) — KTM North America, Inc. and Strider Sports International are excited to announce a licensing agreement for the introduction of the KTM Strider PREbike™. The KTM Strider PREbike™ is a revolutionary pedal-free bike that enables toddlers as young as 18 months to learn how to ride and balance on two wheels… years earlier than if they used the conventional tricycle or training wheel method. Most important, Strider™ teaches the skills needed to safely and easily transition to riding both a pedal bike and a Sportminicycle, making the first experience on each much more successful and positive.
Inventor’s youngest son getting started at less than 2 years old.
Inventor and both sons enjoying their favorite pastime on their KTM's!

This was a fun surprise for us… first phone call of the day was a dad wanting to order a Strider for his little boy and saying that he saw it in Dirt Rider magazine. We had no idea that the Strider would be in the Gear Bag section of the magazine. Later that day our subscription issue showed up at the shop, so we raced through it to find this…

Thanks Dirt Rider… you said it perfectly… if it’s got training wheels its not a two-wheeler!
