"With this milestone, we're not only marking a significant sales milestone, but celebrating the millions of kids we've helped learn to ride."</p> <p>What makes this milestone even more special is the impact it has had beyond just the number of bikes sold.

Additionally, Strider Bikes proudly contributes 1 percent of every bike sold to the Strider Rider Fund, which has helped create opportunities for young riders globally.
