My little Strider Racer 


Last year, I was honored to collaborate with Strider Bikes. They make balance bikes for kids and also conduct a race. The race was one of the coolest events that I've experienced.

I promise you, you and your racer will enjoy it. And the rest of the family will get to cheer for your little one. The link below has the calendar of races, the first one is on April 6th.

Enjoy!!!
