Adaptive Strider Program

Hazel Greenfield rides her adaptive 12" Strider Sport

Our mission is to build lightweight, efficient, all-terrain bikes that develop two-wheeled balance, coordination, and confidence in children. And we mean ALL children.

In partnership with RAM® Mounts.

At Strider we love riding bikes, and we believe every single kid should have the chance to learn to ride. The Adaptive Strider Program is here to help individuals with height and limb differences have that opportunity. With a newly purchased Strider Bike, we will work directly with you to ensure proper fit and provide modifications to the bike at no additional cost. Before you know it, your child that you thought would never ride a bike will be ripping up and down the street!

Measurements

These measurements will help our fabrication team determine what parts and modifications are needed to adapt a bike to your child's needs.

Inseam (in inches)*

Have your child stand up as straight as they're comfortably able to with their shoes on. Place a book between their legs and slide it up to meet the crotch seam of their pants. Measure the distance from the top of the book to the floor

Shoulder Width (in inches)*

Measure the widest point of your child's shoulders. (Measuring across their back from one shoulder seam to the other is easiest if their shirt fits snugly.)

Shoulder to Elbow (in inches)*

(1) Measure from the ball of the shoulder joint down the outside of the arm to the elbow.

Elbow to Wrist (in inches)*

(2) Measure along the outside of the arm from the elbow to the wrist bone.

Right Shoulder to Elbow (in inches)*

Left Shoulder to Elbow (in inches)*

Right Elbow to Wrist or Terminus (in inches)*

Left Elbow to Wrist or Terminus (in inches)*

Right Circumference at End of Residual Limb, if applicable (in inches)

Leave blank if no modification is required for this limb.

Left Circumference at End of Residual Limb, if applicable (in inches)

Leave blank if no modification is required for this limb.

Is the end of the child's limb is tender or sensitive?*

Yes

Seated Photo(s)*

Please provide us with a photograph or two of your child seated with their arms at rest on a table or highchair. This will help our fabrication team determine parts and modifications needed for the bike.

Additional Information

Please provide us with any additional information about your child that you think would be helpful in modifying their Strider Bike.

Consent*

At Strider, we love riding bikes, and we love inspiring kids to ride. We do not want physical limitations to prevent a child from experiencing this healthy and fun activity.

We are pleased to provide parents and legal guardians with adaptive modifications to their children's newly purchased Strider Bike at no additional charge to accommodate the physical needs of their children.

While Strider Sports Int’l Inc. (SSI) fully tests and certifies its children's bicycles for compliance with all applicable safety regulations, these adaptive modifications are one-of-a-kind and the result of individualized research, development, design, and manufacturing activities that are particular to each specific child and based on the parent or legal guardian’s input.

If you, as parent or legal guardian, would like to receive an adaptive modification to your Strider Bike for your child, you must submit full and complete information about your child in the form below. You must also confirm your understanding that this adaptive modification to your child’s Strider Bike is based on your input and developed specifically for only this child. You further acknowledge that the adaptive modification has not been separately tested and certified for compliance with consumer product safety regulations, and that there may be certain inherent risks and dangers, including injury or death, associated with the unique and bespoke adaptive modification made to the Strider Bike. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether to have your child use the adaptive modification with the Strider Bike. You agree to constantly supervise your child when using the bike, and you agree to not let other children use the bike with the adaptive modification.

By submitting this form and in accordance with these acknowledgements, you knowingly and voluntarily accept and assume full responsibility for any and all risks and dangers, including injury or death, that could arise out of, or occur during, your child’s use of the bike.

I agree to this policy.
