Strider Adventure Zone to Teach Toddlers How to Balance and Ride on Two Wheels

Rapid City, SD (September 28, 2016) — Strider Sports Int’l., Inc, the world’s premier no-pedal balance bike manufacturer, will host a Toddler Ride and Play Area at the Rushmore Mall (2200 North Maple Ave.) in Rapid City, South Dakota on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the month of October.

Strider Sports is partnering with the Noon Optimist Club of the Black Hills to transform the Center Court (by the Buckle) into an interactive and experiential Strider Bike ride and play area for kids age 18 months- 5 years old.

“At Strider, we like supporting our local area.  We’re excited to bring our Strider Adventure Zone to the Rushmore Mall and we can’t wait to see all the little riders climbing out of strollers and hopping on bikes,”says Ryan McFarland, Strider Founder and CEO.

The 16 foot by 70 foot full color floor graphic Strider Adventure Zone Ride and Play area will feature demo rides on 12” pedal-less balance bikes and opportunities for young children to play, learn, and socialize with peers while riding Strider Bikes. This safe and friendly environment encourages kids to explore mobility on two wheels and experience the challenge and thrill of riding a Strider Bike on unique terrains and obstacles. Designed to be steady, stable, and safe, Strider Balance Bikes are perfect for children ages 18 months to five years. Bikes and helmets will be provided onsite.

The Strider Adventure Zone, brought to you by West River Ear, Nose & Throat and the Noon Optimist Club of the Black Hills will be open during mall hours, Saturday 10am-8pm, and Sundays 11am-6pm.  No previous riding experience is necessary. The Noon Optimist Club will be staffing the toddler riding area and will be accepting donations.
