How will I know when my child is ready to move from a Strider™ PREbike to a regular pedal bike?
When you see your child coasting down hills with his/her feet up, going over and around obstacles, and speeding along with forceful strides, you will know that he/she has mastered the necessary techniques of balance and steering to begin riding a pedal bike. The transition will be quick and easy. However, you will discover that even though your child can ride his/her pedal bike without training wheels, he/she will continue to ride his/her Strider ™ PREbike for pure fun. On the Strider™, a child is confident enough to continually push to higher levels of expertise. Eventually, these higher level skills are transferred to his/her pedal bike.
