Strider Sports Running Bike Review & Giveaway
My 3 year old is constantly trying to keep up with his brother, even in the bike riding department. Thanks to Strider Sports International, we had the opportunity to review the Strider Running Bike in Orange. As soon as my son saw it, he wanted to take it out for a spin. When he first started, he was literally running while sitting on the bike – hence the name Running Bike. Now, he zooms around it likes it’s nothing! I felt comfortable letting my 3 year old ride on the bike himself instead of jumping for him every time he wobbled back and forth! This bike is definitely “Approved by The Mommy-Files!”
The great thing about the Strider Running Bike is that there are no “tricycle tip-overs” or “training wheel wobbles,” which tend to create a fear and hesitancy in the child to continue riding on a bike. The Strider Running Bike helps your child develop balance and coordination skills before learning to pedal. With this confidence, bike riding becomes much easier and FUN! The Strider Running Bike is designed for children ages 1-5 and is easy to control. The bike also has features such as an adjustable seat and handlebars – perfect for your growing child.
I am amazed by this bike and will definitely be using it with my younger kids when the right time comes. I also love the customer service I received from Strider Sports International. They were willing to answer any questions I had and shipped the bike out right away.
This would be an awesome Christmas gift for a young child in your life who is striving to learn to ride a bike!

what i love about this bike is that i have a special needs child, and coordinating from pedals to steering is always so frustrating to him, and his legs get hit with the pedal, so this bike was designed perfect for him, he will get to ride the bike, and nbot have to worry about getting hurt with pedals or frustrated to keep riding the bike.

I love that it teaches balance, so that when they are ready for a bike with wheels it isn’t as scary.

I really like that this seems safer especially for those kids that aren’t very good at balance at first

My favorite item is that this bike is easier for kids to use than a bike with training wheels! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net

I just like the basic concept of the bike – how bikes with training wheels don’t teach you to ride a regular bike. When transitioning to a regular bike you’ll still have to learn a whole new skill. Strider teaches you balance, which is the most important part – adding pedalling later should be a breeze! I also like that kids can start using it as soon as they are stable walkers.

commented on the post about the stupid school with the wordy librarian
I like this bike. It is unlike anything I have ever seen. It seems so much easier for kids to learn and logical. I would have loved this for my kids when they were younger as I has such a hard time teaching the youngest to ride a bike. I think he would have “got it” much easier than he did with the strider.

I love the choice of colors! Our favorite is the blue!
I like that kids can start using it as soon as they are stable walkers and it will adjust as they grow!
There’s no chains to mess with. I hate having to deal with oily chains. thank you!
