If you’re looking to toddle into the world of balance bikes, this is a great place to start. The Classic 12 has been designed to get little ones rolling and save you money. Strider bikes get kids riding without pedals or training wheels. They use their legs for balance and movement, which encourages speedy learning and allows them to feel the freedom and adventure that cycling brings. The transition to a pedal bike is much quicker as children have already mastered their balance.
