Why doesn the Strider Running Bike have a hand brake?
We want children to be safe on a Strider Running Bike. We researched various “stopping” methods as they relate to really young children. In the end, in a panic situation, the natural instinct of children is to put their feet down. Even children capable of using a brake revert to planting their feet if they have to stop quickly. The hand brake option does not make sense based on child anatomy… just gripping the bar is a handful for a 2-3 year old hand… their fingers are not long or strong enough to pull a brake lever.
