This is the story of a very well loved Strider and its three proud owners!

From left to right: Rhett (youngest), Trey (oldest), and Carter (middle)

all started riding on the same first generation green Strider ST-1!

 

It all started in the Spring of 2010 when Trey was 3 years old his Mom found a little bike without pedals. She says, “I was skeptical that it would be a ‘beginner’ bike and as soon as the kids learned to balance they would be on to a pedal bike, and the Strider would be obsolete for them. This wasn’t the case at all. They all (yes, even my 10 year old) still love the Strider Bike!”

Trey – 2010

“My kids were 3, 2, and 18 months when they started riding the Strider, and they loved being able to keep up with older kids on pedal bikes.” Two of the boys (Trey and Carter), “never rode a bike with training wheels. They wouldn’t even get on a pedal bike until we took the training wheels off! If I had known how well they were made, and how many years we would get out of our Strider, I wouldn’t have waited so long to buy one!”

 

Carter – 2015

After seven years, one Strider has taught two boys, and another “ten counting daycare kids, cousins, and friends! I was so hesitant because I felt like it was a beginner bike, and they would need to upgrade right away, and that’s just not cost effective. Boy was I wrong!”

 

Rhett – 2016

“Our youngest just turned two and I’m sure that as soon as he can reach the pedals on his big brothers’ bikes, he will be off!” Until then he’ll be riding his recently upgraded Strider 12″ Sport that showed up at his door (above)! Can’t wait to hear about his future success, and to check back in with this Strider 7 years from now!
