Strider PREbike Balance Running Bike

Strider PREbike Balance Running Bike Review



Strider PREbike Balance Running Bike Feature

  • Riding bike teaches your child balance and coordination, developing confidence for later pedal biking
  • Takes pedaling out of the mix so that kids can concentrate solely on learning balance, which takes more practice
  • Lightweight and easy to control; adjustable seat and handlebars to accommodate a growing child
  • Launch Pad footrests for gliding and learning advanced riding skills; puncture-proof all-terrain tires
  • Designed for children ages 1 to 5; 1-year warranty
With the Strider PREbike, there are no "tricycle tip-overs" or "training-wheel wobbles" to create a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding. The Strider running bike helps toddlers learn balance and coordination before pedaling, which develops glittering confidence. Designed for children, ages 1 to 5, the Strider running bike holds several advantages over ordinary beginner's bikes.



The Strider teaches your child balance, coordination and develops glittering confidence. Trikes and bikes with training wheels don't. Traditional bicycles place too much of the focus on learning to pedal--skimping on developing your child's motor skills. And tricycles are heavy, clunky and difficult for kids to control.



Bike riding becomes a breeze when you teach your child balance and coordination before pedaling. The Strider takes pedaling out of the mix so that kids can concentrate solely on learning balance, which takes more practice. Pedaling is a secondary skill that kids can easily learn within a few short minutes.

Pure Fun, Right Out of the Box

If your child can walk... your child can ride a Strider. Even tiny little children, before the age of two, are drawn to the Strider. At first, kids will grab the handle bars, straddle the bike and walk without ever sitting down on the seat. And they're completely stable: Two wheels, front and back. Feet firmly on the ground. Hands bracing the handle bars.

Here's an added benefit for parents: Your child will become more mobile. The Strider opens up a whole world for your child to ride on. Take your child's Strider to an outdoor gathering, a nearby park, or anywhere else you walk. With a Strider, there's no more dawdling little one's. Your child will easily be able to keep pace.



The next step: Kids quickly learn to sit down, push with their feet and zip right along as they balance on two wheels.

A Safer Way to Learn Bike Riding
Tricycles tip over, scrape ankles, and are difficult to pedal. Bicycles with training wheels are tall, heavy, unstable and downright scary for young riders. Both have the potential to cause painful injuries and fear. The Strider PREbike is free from any cables, chains, sprockets, pedals or protrusions that can harm your child. And the Strider is steady, stable and safe. At the first feeling of instability, your child will instinctively place both feet securely on the ground. So there are no "tricycle tip-overs" or "training-wheel wobbles" that stir-up a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding.



The Strider's lightweight design and low center of gravity make it easy to maneuver and control, giving your child a safe and secure feeling. And the bike's adjustable seat height starts at 11 inches from the ground, accommodating the shortest of legs. Control is further enhanced with a low and flat handlebar design. Kids can now reach forward rather than up, which gives them better leverage and maneuverability. And as the your child becomes more confident, the Strider's integrated foot rests provide a place for both feet while coasting along.

Specifications:

  • Weight: Less that 7 pounds (about 1/3 the weight of a typical 12-inch pedal bike with training wheels).
  • Frame Design: Unique frame design has integrated Launch Pad footrests for gliding and learning advanced riding skills.
  • Tires: Puncture-proof all-terrain tires with sealed bearings and 5/16-inch steel axles.
  • Construction: Durable welded steel frame and handlebars
  • Warranty: 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects
  • Sizing: Adjustable handlebar and seat height to fit riders from 30 to 44 inches tall (saddle height adjusts from 11 to 16 inches from ground). The optional Extra-Long Seatpost with Saddle is recommended for children 4 years and older (adjusts from 14 to 19 inches from the ground).

If your mini-me has more-or-less mastered walking, then itAAAs definitely time to get things rolling on the two-wheeled front. The Strider KidsAAA PREBike Balance Bike teaches your little one balance and control without the learning curve associated with a pedal bike or the tip-over risks of a tricycle. The PREBike is designed for kids between 30 and 44 inches tall, and longer posts are available to fit bigger kids.

Shimano PD-A600 Ultegra SPD Road Bike Pedals with SH-51 Cleats

Shimano PD-A600 Ultegra SPD Road Bike Pedals with SH-51 Cleats Review



Shimano PD-A600 Ultegra SPD Road Bike Pedals with SH-51 Cleats Feature

  • Road pedals with SPD bindings for proven performance
  • Extra-wide pedal platform for efficient power transfer
  • Low-maintenance sealed-cartridge axle unit
  • Adjustable cleat tension with indicators
  • Recessed SPD design is ideal for walking around
Shimano's recessed cleat and clipless pedal technology, called SPD, revolutionized the cycling shoe/pedal interface. Since then, decades of legendary "in the dirt" dependability, reliability, and sheer endurance have made SPD the world's go-to pedal technology. The Shimano PD-A600 Ultegra SPD pedal continues the SPD tradition, combining the weight and stiffness of a road racing pedal with the recessed SPD cleat of a mountain pedal. As a result, the lightweight PD-A600 pedal is an excellent choice for riders who don't spend all their time on the bike. The pedal offers such details as an extra-wide platform that efficiently transfers power from foot to pedal, a low-maintenance sealed cartridge axle unit, and adjustable cleat tension with indicators.

About Shimano
In 1961, a three-speed bicycle hub was displayed at the New York Toy Show. The hub--an affordable and reliable version of the multi-speed hubs growing in popularity at the time--caught the attention of the industry. So much so that by 1965, Yoshizo Shimano--the youngest son of the company founder in Japan--opened an office in New York. Shimano's goal was to get quicker product feedback and to provide technical and warranty assistance to retailers selling bikes equipped with Shimano parts. Though Shimano American has grown from that first modest office staffed by only three people to a full distribution center with sales and marketing offices, its goals are the same: listen to customers and meet their needs for both bicycle and fishing products. The Shimano A600 is the lightest SPD pedal available. With the weight and stiffness of a road racing pedal and the convenient recessed SPD cleat of a mountain pedal, the A600 is an excellent choice for riders that aren't always on the bike.

Tommaso Monza Road Bike

Tommaso Monza Road Bike Review



Tommaso Monza Road Bike Feature

  • Tommaso Aluminum 6061 Compact Frame
  • San Marco Ponza Power Saddle
  • Shimano Tiagra/105 Components
  • FSA Tempo 50/34 Compact Crankset
The new Tommaso Monza gets a new look and new energy. The updated Tiagra shifters come with the new optical gear display for easy shifting execution and hand comfort. This means you can see what gear you are in while accessing the controls for braking and shifting without removing your hands from the handlebars. The San Marco saddle has more padding on the saddle's pressure points to aid with comfort. The FSA Tempo compact is ideal for cyclist of all levels. The 50/34 chainring combination on the crank is a slightly smaller gear for those of us that aren’t racing the Tour de France this year. It enables the user to climb with less stress on the knees and joints while cruising quickly along the flats and descents. The compact crank makes for less complex shifting than a triple and is lighter. The Tommaso Frame The Tommaso Monza’s foundation is a corrosion-free proprietary aluminum frame that comes from the same design concepts found on the top of the line Tommaso bikes. Tommaso uses a compact geometry and detailed tubing lengths per frame size. This ensures that the rider gets the lightest, strongest and best performing and fitting frame for the dollar. The compact design and geometry place the rider in the optimum position for steady handling and comfort. The Monza has a carbon fork to absorb the high-frequency buzz from the road. This means more miles of comfort and better handling. Tommaso, and other big names in cycling, such as Giant, Specialized, Trek, Masi, and Felt to name a few, rely on compact geometry to best serve the needs of the customer. Compact geometry has a number of advantages for the rider. First of all, the phrase compact geometry is signifying that the top tube (the bar you stand over when not in motion) is sloped downward from the front to the rear of the bike. This enables the rider to get on and off the bike easily. Traditional frame geometry has a top tube that is parallel to the ground and harder to get a leg over.
