The “Strider” bike is an off-road (and on-road) version of the increasingly popular “balance bike”. This rugged little bike looks like a mountain bike for kids from 1-5, and would make a great Christmas or birthday present for your preschooler. Unlike traditional childhood bikes that have training wheels, this bike has no training wheels and no pedals. Instead of tipping back and forth while the training wheels support their bike, the child moves naturally from using their feet to balance and push themselves along, to balancing the bike. Little kids LOVE these bikes because they look “just like” the big-kid bikes and the mountain bikes that mom and dad might ride.
