We recently went to the Valley Cyclefest bike race and saw a little girl riding a tiny strider bike. I didn't know they made strider bikes that small. We talked to her and found out the little girl was the same age as Kaiden. She let Kaiden test out their strider and he loved it, so we bought him one. Come to find out the lady belongs to Jason's Wednesday night bike group. They go for 25-30 mile bike rides every Wednesday. Kaiden was so excited when his bike finally arrived. He stood and basically walked the bike for the first few days, but then he got the hang of sitting on the seat and using his feet to glide. Now he zips up and down the sidewalks so fast I have to run to keep up! He loves his bike! He rides it every day. He's already good at balancing too. Once Connor made up his mind to ride without training wheels he mastered riding in a few days too. He's super fast now. His bike is really too small for him, but we're having a hard time finding him a new bike. They redesigned the 16" and 18" bikes to be long and stretched out. When he sits on the seat he has to lean forward and stretch to reach the handle bars. Plus the new design has his knees extending beyond a 90 degree angle. We must have tried out a dozen bikes for him and can't find any we like.
