Industry-Leading STRIDER™ Balance Bikes Bring Family Fun To Progressive® International Motorcycle Show In Minneapolis

Rapid City, SD (January 2, 2013) — Strider Sports International, the world’s premier manufacturer and marketer of children’s no-pedal balance bikes, is bringing its award-winning balance bikes and Adventure Zone to the Progressive International Motorcycle Show, January 11-13, 2013 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, 1301 Second Avenue, South Minneapolis, MN 55403.

Bring the family to the show Friday (3pm-8pm), Saturday (9:30am-8pm) or Sunday (10am-5pm) and look for the Strider Adventure Zone, where young children from just 18 months up to 5 years old can test ride a demo bike for free and discover the joy and freedom of riding on two wheels. Families who already have a STRIDER bike can bring their STRIDER rider, bike, and helmet and get FREE admission for the young rider.

Strider was hailed by TIME.com as “a kiddie cycling trend [that] really may sound the death knell for the rickety old training wheel”. Strider bikes are designed to be steady, stable and safe, and come in a variety of colors to suit every young child. Strider No-Pedal Balance Bikes are the perfect way to put an entire family on two wheels.

The Strider Adventure Zone gives kids 18 months to five years old a chance to test ride a STRIDER, play with other kids, and develop balance and coordination in a Strider-designed area, complete with ramps and pennants. This safe and friendly environment encourages kids to explore mobility on two wheels and experience the challenge and thrill of riding a STRIDER on unique terrains and obstacles.

The International Motorcycle shows are a great way for the powersports enthusiast or an entire family to survey and experience all the latest trends and products in the industry — from motorcycles to scooters.

Don’t miss a chance to be a part of the fastest, safest, and easiest way to teach toddlers as young as 18 months to discover the world on two wheels.
