Strider Goes Big

Strider Sports has made a name for itself with its 12-inch, no-pedal balance bikes for young riders. For those slightly larger kids the 12-inch wheels were a little on the small size, so the company has rolled out the new Strider Super 16, which features 16-inch wheels, larger footrests and even a caliper handbrake. The bike still lacks pedals as it is just a balance bike allowing kids to roll before the ride!
