Strider 12” Classic Bike - No Pedal Balance Bicycle for Kids 1 to 3 Years - Includes Built-In Footrest, Handlebar Grips & Flat-Free Tires

While the industry typically uses "entry-level" as shorthand for a non-race bike, we can assert with comfort and confidence that the custom grips, saddles, and other features that set Strider's lighter, more expensive models apart from the "entry-level" 12 Classic Balance Bike probably won't be missed. The 12 Classic is designed for aspiring cyclists from 18 months to 3 years of age, providing a platform to transition from striding to coasting in order to learn the balance and handling skills necessary for eventually piloting a proper bicycle. The balance bike's sturdy frame is rounded off with flat-free tires, an adjustable seatpost, footrests for gliding, and brake mounts so that -- as the young rider's coasting skills increase -- a rear brake can be added to keep things in check.
