Giveaway: Win a Strider Bike PreBike ($110 value)!
Do you have a kiddo that is eager to learn to ride a bike but maybe you’re a little nervous about them getting injured, discouraged or both?! For me personally, I can still remember the anxiety that I felt as I watched my oldest son, Nicholas, try again and again to peddle down the sidewalk. It literally took days and days of practice and repetition before he really got the hang of it. Based on this experience, I only wish that I had known about Balance Bikes back then.
Balance Bikes are bicycles that are specifically developed to help children learn to ride the bikes safely with simple designs that lack chains and pedals……..pure “Kid Power”. The child can just sit down and start to push the vehicle around using his or her feet for help. The main benefits of choosing a balance bike are its safety, and the fact that kids can start practicing from a very young age, some as early as 12 months old. In the beginning, the seat is so low that it is possible for the child to touch the ground with his or her feet and to walk along; as your child becomes more confident, the next step is to run while sitting on the bike, and then finally to try gliding with both feet off the ground. Head over here to see some great Balance Bike Action Videos online.
Thanks to BikesThatTeach, one lucky reader will win the Strider Bike PreBike ($99 value) AND an extended seat post (a $9.95 value) to help assist with the proper fitting of the Strider as the child grows.

I’ve been looking at bikes for my 2 year old. I know the time is coming soon to buy a bike, so this would totally ROCK!
I would love to win this bike for my son Owen. He doesnt know how to ride a bike yet ( he’s 5) but is really affraid of falling.Thanks Collin for the chance to win 🙂
I love theses bikes! We have 3 of them, one for each child. They all started on them at 18 months old and by 2 1/2 years my first two were riding pedal bikes without training wheels. My youngest (2 1/2 right now) will be getting a new pedal bike this spring.
If you have little ones, you need a Strider.
Now I know I want one of these, thats incredible that they learned that young!
This would be so awesome to win! I have a 6 year old girl and 4 year old boy that I would love to have this for. Thanks for the great things you do!
would love for my son.
would love to win this for my son!
This would be cool to win, I have two small boys who want to learn to ride like their big sister.
With 4 young kids needing to learn to ride a bike this would be awesome!
My hubby has been oogling these bikes at our local motorcycle shop. These are all the rage here! Our boys would love this! How long is this offer good?

My son would LOVE to learn how to ride a bike and this would be the perfect one for him to learn on – This is an amazing giveaway!
Thanks so much for the awesome chance! This would make a great gift for my little guy!
Yeah, I have a boy who will be turning 4 in April and this would be the perfect first bike for him. Thank you for the giveaway!
I would love to win this for my niece!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love these!
ohhhhhhh yeah!
I would so love to win one for my niece. She has Autism and has alot of issues with her balance. I really think she would love to try this.
Crossing my fingers…….I would LOVE to win this bike. I have been searching high and low on Craigslist and garage sales for a reasonable priced Balancing Bike.
Thanks for the great giveaway.
am I the only one that thinks this bike is a little wierd? I don’t get it, it has no chain and pedals? I think I’ll stick with the old way to to learn how to ride a bike… training wheels.
Two of my 3 have been riding a pedal bike without training wheels since they were 2 1/2. My thirds is just now 2 1/2 and will be getting a pedal bike, minus the training wheels this spring. They teach the kids balance, naturally. As the progress they lift their feet and cruse, balancing and steering. The only transition left is the pedals, and they are way less scary when they already know how to catch themselves if they fall, steer and balance.
I’m tellin’ ya, these things are GREAT!
My understanding is that the kids start by almost walking while straddling the bike (like a regular ride-on toy), then graduate naturally to pushing off and lifting up their feet. As they gain confidence and balance they start holding their feet up and coasting more and more. By the time they’re 3-5 and ready for a “real” bike they’ve already mastered steering and balancing so it’s easier to focus on pedaling, instead of trying to learn to balance, steer, pedal and brake all at once.
I can totally understand going the traditional route but I think I’m going to try one of these with my daughter – I don’t think I’ve ever seen a negative review and I’ve done a fair amount of research since I was planning to get one before this post.
Hello again…….I hope you are having a great Saturday morning. Your review of our new balance bike concept is correct. I would like to add just a bit of detailed education behind our balance bike concept to share. These steps of motor skill development will accelerate considering a proper sized balance bike is incorporated with your child’s introduction. We have been properly Fitting Children In-Store for more than 5 years and what most parents do not realize is that there is a minimum seat height level that is quite broad within the balance bikes on the market today measuring from 9.8 inches to 14.5. A critical fitting point is to allow 1-1.5″ of space between your child and the seat. For example if your child has an inseam of 14 inches, a properly set height for this child will be set at 12.5-13″ therefore a balance bike with a minimum seat height of 14+ inches is an improperly fitted bike. Each child will require to be able to place both feet flat on the ground with a slight bend in their legs for stability, safety and a proper running and walking motion. Without confidence and security developed in relation to a child and their new balance bike it will be very difficult to keep the child’s interest with the new bike………just soooooooo scary. We need to create a secure and comfortable atmosphere for the child to continue with an interest in their new balance bike. I hope this bit of education helps.

Thank you again for your interest in our new balance bike concept……make it a better than great day, bye for now!
cool!
my oldest son’s name is Nicholas to 🙂
I would love to win this!! I am currently looking at purchasing one for my son’s birthday and it would be awesome to not have to spend the money right now. I have heard nothing but good things about these. This would make his 2nd birthday great!
These are the BEST bikes!! We had one for my son and it was amazing!! The first time we took the training wheels off of his big bike he just took off riding with NO help from us!! We knew it was because of the balance bike!! If you do not have one of these, GET ONE!! Also, he was 3 and the first child in his class to ride his bike without training wheels. So cool!!
What kind did you get? I’m debating between the Boot Scoot Zoomer and the Strider Pre-Bike. The Boot Scoot is about $20 cheaper (and slightly cuter in my opinion) but if the Strider is more adjustable/durable then it’d be worth the extra money.
Hello….It is me Kevin / Balance Bike PRO-fitting Expert at Bikes That Teach. When choosing a balance bike it is very important to choose the correct sized balance bike due to many of our bike have a limited seat height that can differ from 11″-14″ that can determine the safety of a properly ridden bike. Please take to time to complete our FREE Balance Bike Online Fitting Evaluation Form for your child or contact us direct for a live balance bike evaluation. You will receive by us in response a detailed profile on what balance bike or bikes will properly fit your child and which balance bike help assist with a higher amount of motor skill development than others.

My husband and I were just talking the other day about wanting to get a balance bike for our little girl. I think this giveaway is awesome.
My 2 year old would love this! Okay…so would my 4 year old! If I win this, I’ll need to buy a second one just to keep them from fighting over it. 🙂
We are going to teach my son this summer. This would be so great to win.
My 5 year old could definitely use this to help with confidence:) We live in an area that is difficult to balance with a bike anyway (rural/rough roads) so any help he could get would be amazing! Thanks Bikes That Teach & Collin!
This would be an awesome first bike for my little guy.
My son has not learned to ride a Nike because of the massive hill on our driveway. This would be a wonderful way fir him to get started down in our cul de sac. He doesn’t have a bike so he would be completely excited to get this delivered!!!!
This would be great for us we have 3 young boys. my oldest has balance and confidence issues and is special needs this would be great for him then his 2 younger brothers to follow. I hadnt heard of these before.
Trying so hard to get my 6 year old to ride a two-wheeler. This may do the trick!
This bike would be awesome for my son with developmental delays we have been trying to think of an idea for him to learn to balance so he could ride a bike.
This would be great for my daughter. Thanks.
I promised my grand daughter a new bike for her April birthday! I really want to win this!
My daughter is out growing her tricycle and this would be perfect!
I have seen these on TV! My 3 year old Sophie would love to have one of these!! It looks amazing!! Can wait to check out the web-site! Thanks Bikes That Teach and Collin for having this wonderful giveaway!!
What a great idea for my 3 year old. Thanks for the chance.
