Strider 12 Classic No-Pedal Balance Bike
----------------------------------------
Strider 12 Classic
------------------
Our Skill-Building Entry-Level Model.
A fun way to learn two-wheel balance
------------------------------------
Strider balance bikes are the industry-leader when it comes to helping children as young as 18 months learn to ride on
two wheels. The lightweight, pedal-less design allows children to straddle the bike with both feet on the ground and
easily propel the bike by walking or running. This natural method puts the focus on the fundamentals of balancing,
leaning, and steering without the distractions and complications of pedals or training wheels. Strider Bikes are
scientifically proven to increase balance in children of all abilities in a fun and engaging way.
A safe way to learn
-------------------
The Strider allows children to experience two wheeled biking independently and at their own pace. Tricycles tip over,
scrape ankles, and are difficult to pedal. Bicycles with training wheels are tall, heavy, and can be unstable for young
riders. The Strider is about 1/3 the weight of a typical 12-inch bike with training wheels, and is free from any cables,
chains, sprockets, pedals or protrusions that can harm your child.
An intuitive learning process
-----------------------------
Kids begin by straddling the bike, leaning on the handle bars and walking it forward. When ready, they can run the bike
forward, gaining the speed and momentum required for balance. Finally, kids lift their feet and glide freely. At the
first feeling of instability, your child will instinctively place both feet securely on the ground--so there are no
"tricycle tip-overs" or "training-wheel wobbles" that stir-up a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding.

Built just right for growing toddlers
-------------------------------------
When it comes to toddlers, weight and fit are critical. Quick releases on the handlebars and seat make it a snap to
adjust for a growing child. The bike's adjustable seat height starts at 11 inches from the ground providing a low center
of gravity so that children as young as one year old can maneuver the bike and have fun learning balance. Control is
further enhanced with a low and flat handlebar design so that kids can reach forward rather than up, for better leverage
and maneuverability. And, as your child becomes more confident, the Strider's integrated foot rests provide a place for
both feet to sit while they coast along. Please note: If your child is 3 1/2 years old or older, Strider recommends
purchasing the Extra Long Seat post in addition to the standard seat post included with the Strider.
