If Your Child Can Walk, Your Child Can Ride a Strider™ Freedom From Tricycles and Training Wheels.With the STRIDER™, there are no "tricycle tip-overs" or "training-wheel wobbles" to create a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding. The Strider™ running bike helps toddlers learn balance and coordination BEFORE pedaling, which develops AMAZING confidence and bike handling skills. So ditch the tricycle and training wheels, and teach your child to ride a bike sooner and safer with a STRIDER™.
