Strider Sports International is enthusiastic about bike riding. Some would say they're even a bit obsessive.
But they've channeled their cycling mania to rethink the way a child should learn to ride a bike.
Balance comes first:
"Tricycle tip-overs" and "training-wheel wobbles" create a fear, hesitancy, and dislike of bike riding. And, after tinkering with several ideas, the answer hit Strider. Balance and coordination should be taught before pedaling.
Yes, the traditional methods of learning to ride a bike have it backwards. Tricycles and training wheels place too much of the focus on learning to pedal.
Reverse course.
Bike riding becomes a breeze when you teach your child balance and coordination before pedaling.
