Founded in 2007 in Rapid City, South Dakota, Strider Sports International designs efficient, no-pedal balance bikes for all ages and all abilities. The goal of Strider Sports is to simplify a bike to its essence, so that proper size, weight, and simplicity combine to eliminate any fear of riding and instill confidence in new riders. STRIDER No-Pedal Bikes are distributed worldwide, and riding events and competitions culminating in the STRIDER World Championship weekend, are held annually.
