We Believe

Life is better when riding a bike.
Balance leads to confidence, courage, and happiness.
ANY child that can walk can learn to ride easily and safely.
Your life as a parent gets better when your child is mobile.
Kids are awesome.
Failure is OK.
Kids learn best through play.

Benevolence

We know that many kids face much greater challenges than learning to ride a bike. To do our part, we created the Strider Rider Fund to support local, national, and international charities addressing these challenges.
