Getting Kids Started in Cycling Early
This episode’s guest is Ryan McFarland, Founder of Strider Bikes and All Kids Bike. Ryan is an entrepreneur with a passion for biking and motorsports. In 2007, he founded Strider Bikes in his garage. Today, the balance bike company has sold nearly 4 million bikes worldwide. Strider creates and inspires future generations of riders by giving children as young as six months old the best first-bike experience. Strider Bikes revolutionized the bike’s design to develop a child’s balance first and pairs each balance bike with a proven learn-to-ride process. Children around the globe are starting on a Strider Bike and learning the art of two-wheeling – before they’re out of diapers. Listen in and learn how you as a retailer can work with Strider to get kids started early into our sport.
