One of the best Strider PREbike videos ever. The song is catchy…except it drops a few F-bombs at the very end (in case you’re watching with your kids). It’s from Japan, so perhaps they didn’t understand the lyric?

The video shows some great technique, including braking by dragging feet. We’ve found that most kids this young don’t have the strength yet to operate mechanical foot or hand brakes. That’s why Striders don’t ship with brakes. The optional foot-brake is really useful when your kids are a little bigger and want to start practicing skids. But, for just plain stopping power, nothing beats the good ol’ Fred Flintstone method!

The other great thing about this video is you can use some of the points of reference (railings, people walking, etc) to get a feel of JUST HOW SMALL THESE BIKES ARE!

UPDATE: I just want to repeat…the song on this video has the F-WORD several times at the end.
