I took my two precious little towheads out to Fort Lincoln last night for a picnic with Daddy…after which we dug out their Strider Bikes, compliments of the fine folks at KTM Cycle Hutt, and proceeded to blaze back and forth between the blockhouses. I took them up top in order to survey the flood situation, then it was back to the action. Boy, did they fall asleep FAST when I got ’em tucked in back at home!

Strider bikes are amazing little devices, because they teach your child how to ride a bike without training wheels in a matter of minutes. They have a low center of gravity, no pedals, and they are fun to ride fast! My three and four year old were cruising around naturally in minutes after we took their bikes out of the box and put the wheels on.

Now, when it comes time for them to ride a two-wheeled pedal bike without training wheels, they’ve already trained their bodies to handle all the balance and coordination with the exception of the pedals. They only have one action to learn. Cool, huh?

Don’t take my word for it, head over to Scheels and check one out for yourself. I know others who’ve got one of these “pre-bikes” and their children love them and learned quickly. Then you can enjoy places like these with children who can get from point A to point B happily and in style!
