ABOUT STRIDER SPORTS INTERNATIONAL, INC.  

Strider began with a father's passion for riding anything on two wheels and a need to share it with his son.

Ryan, being an expert level rider, started teaching Bode how to ride his bike. Simple...right? However, frustration soon followed when there was no tool that fit the job. This frustration was the foundation of Strider. Soon, Ryan's wheels started turning on how to make riding simple and fun to learn for his son. As he broke down the "basics" of riding he was reminded of the number one factor to riding a bike: balance.

Strider Bikes has been improving and innovating every day since its conception. We are the proud owners of the best balance bike on the market with epic accessories to match the huge personality of any kiddo. 

Founded in 2007, in Rapid City, South Dakota, Strider Bikes has sold more than 4 million bikes and is distributed in more than 75 countries. Visit www.StriderBikes.com, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.
