Strider Bikes was founded in 2007 by inventor and serial entrepreneur, Ryan McFarland. What began as McFarland seeking a solution to help his 2-year-old son fall in love with everything two wheels has grown into a company that has disrupted the “traditional” way children learn to ride.
“It really was born in my garage out of necessity,” noted McFarland. “I went down the rabbit hole as far as I could go with what the market offered to get children riding. From tricycles to bikes with training wheels, I invested more than $2,000 into products that weren’t designed with the child’s success in mind. My solution was to create something my son could begin learning two-wheeled skills on from day one, and that required separating balancing from the act of pedaling in learning to ride.”
The Strider not only teaches young kids the basics of riding a bike, it also makes a big difference in parents’ lives. “The kid’s mobility is escalated to such an extent, it really changes your life,” McFarland continued. “The parent has been attached to a diaper bag and a stroller the last two years, or they’re moving at a snail’s pace waiting for this dawdling 2-year-old. All of that changes when the child becomes mobile on this bike.”
Strider Bikes continues to blaze a trail in the U.S. market for balance bikes, building a brand as synonymous to the term “balance bikes” as Kleenex has for tissues. In recent years, Strider has grown exponentially outside of the U.S., increasing its global presence through international sellers that stretch across every hemisphere.
