Our Story
In 2007, founder Ryan McFarland just wanted to share his passion for bikes with his 2-year-old son, Bode. Frustrated by traditional options that were too big and complicated, Ryan built a better machine. He stripped down and modified a 12-inch bike to be super light and perfectly sized, allowing Bode to put both feet on the ground. This simple, elegant solution became the very first Strider Bike. What Ryan soon realized was that it wasn't just Bode who could benefit — kids around the world could experience the same success, adventure, and freedom. That's when the Strider brand was born.
2007
The Garage Startup
Strider was established in Rapid City, South Dakota. Our first bikes were built from raw materials — even salvaged parts from department store bikes — all to achieve a bike that was perfectly simple, without pedals, chains, or brakes. These prototypes became the foundation for our iconic 12-inch bikes, sized perfectly for toddlers.
2008
The First Dealer
We began building a parent-driven dealer network to reach more communities. Kent Jacobs, who still works at Strider today, became our first dealer in Iowa.
2009–2010
The Global Explosion
Strider takes off in Japan, which becomes the first country to host a Strider Cup race. These events drew massive crowds of young riders, proving that toddlers and bike races are awesome!

Racing Comes to the US
We held our first official U.S. Strider Cup race in Sarasota. We also developed our first snow skis so the fun didn't have to stop in the winter.
