Welcome to Portland Strider Bikes!  We’re excited to introduce your family to a revolutionary bicycle that will grow with your young child, from 18 months up to 5 years old.  The Strider bike has no pedals, cables, chain, grease, or sprockets to injure or tangle up your child’s feet and legs.  The bike is propelled by the child pushing with their feet, and eventually running and gliding with their feet off of the ground.   The Strider teaches balance, steering and coordination, and most children can transition to a pedal bike without ever needing training wheels.  Take a minute to watch a few videos and see how much fun you and your child can have with a Strider bike!  Your purchase will also help other children, since 1% of all sales will go to The Molly Thompson Memorial Fund, which brings toys, parties and fun to hospitalized kids.  Please check out the “Miles from Molly” link below for more information on this special fund.

Give your kids a head start on learning steering, balance and control of a two-wheeler! The Strider running bike eliminates the need for a tricycle or training wheels and offers your child a vehicle he or she can have a blast riding for years. The Strider develops muscles, coordination, motor skills, and endurance... all under the guise of sheer fun!
