The 2012 Strider ST-3 retains Strider’s unique, patented Launch Pad Footrest and performance geometry. The maintenance-free EVA polymer tires help the bike weigh in at just 6.5 pounds, making it easy for toddlers to handle on whatever adventures their legs take them! The 2012 Strider ST-3 comes standard with Quick Clamps for the handlebar and seatpost. Parents everywhere smile when they see “NO TOOLS ARE NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY OR ADJUSTMENT”! Toddler bike technology will never be the same again!

Strider is the top-selling children’s bike on Amazon and was recently featured in an article on TIME.com where Strider was hailed as “a kiddie cycling trend [that] really may sound the death knell for the rickety old training wheel”.

Parents and grandparents of Strider riders have been chiming in with similar rave reviews on the Strider website and Facebook page. On January 4, 2011, one Strider fan wrote on the Strider website: “My husband and I purchased a Strider for our 23-month-old grandson. It is totally amazing to watch this little guy go. Within the first hour, he was sitting on it, and after just four sessions outside he is trying to balance and lift his feet. We can't wait to take him out on the mountain bike trails, which I know will be soon. This is the first thing he goes for when we take him outside! He loves it and we do too! Thank you for providing such a fabulous product.”
