A new incarnation of an original idea.
The first devices of what became the modern bicycle performed the exact same role that these Strider balance bikes. You sat aside it and scooted along with your feet.
This method of riding is the best way to learn to ride. With a standard bicycle you would simply remove the pedals until the rider progresses past the balancing stage. Some riders with special needs may never achieve this pedalling stage - as seen here.
These Strider balance bikes come three sizes allowing anyone between a small child to an adult to enjoy the movement and speed of a bicycle.
