“We purchased this bike for our daughter’s first birthday,” said Jaxum. “She has fearlessly survived a life-threatening illness and we want to share with her all of the beautiful things that life has to offer. We know that in no time she will be able to ride at our summer family reunion, and we thank you, Strider, for giving us great new memories.”

“One million bikes! What a long way we’ve come since I built that first bike in my garage for my son, nearly 10 years ago, said Ryan McFarland, CEO of Strider Sports International. “I have a terrific staff, passionate about getting kids outside and riding bikes, and we’ve got a great network of enthusiastic distributors, dealers, and parents who’ve helped us reach this milestone. I can’t think of a more fitting recipient for this special bike than little Lyra.”
