Strider bike competition at Northstar for youngsters
Northstar is putting on the Lake Tahoe areas first Strider Cup Series.
With a focus on developing balance and coordination, Strider no-pedal balance bikes have proven much easier for children to control when learning to ride a bicycle than those with pedals.
Every Tuesday beginning July 3 from noon-4pm in the village the Strider Adventure Zone will provide children aged 18 months to 5 years the opportunity to test ride a Strider bike while playing, learning, and enjoying a custom designed obstacle course.
Access to the adventure zone is free, and a limited number of bikes will be available for use on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests are encouraged to bring their own bikes.
The Strider Cup Series is a moto-style event offering kids the chance to participate in friendly competition in a fun, safe environment. These events are scheduled to take place July 4, July 21, Aug. 4, Aug. 18 and Sept. 29 from 3:30-4pm in the Village at Northstar. Participation in the Cup Series is free, and each participant will receive an award.
