RAPID CITY, SD (BRAIN) — Strider Sports is giving away seven balance bikes every day between Oct. 13 and Dec. 12 as part of its Strider Gives Back promotion. The holiday campaign is designed to help children with special needs learn to ride.
Families must go to www.striderbikes.com/stridergivesback to submit a photo, write a brief story, and name the special needs organization to which the applicant belongs to for consideration.
Strider says its balance bikes help a person with special needs because they break down the task of learning how to ride. With feet safely on the ground, a rider is easily able to maneuver.
Although not originally designed as adaptive bikes, Strider says its bikes are suited for children with Down syndrome, autism, low muscle tone, poor balance, arthrogryposis and cerebral palsy.
Strider’s balance bikes come with 12-inch, 16-inch and 20-inch wheels to suit kids ages 18 months up to early teens.
