Great Bike Giveaway Strider® Teams Up with Friendship Circle

Many people don’t realize what a difference an adaptive bike can make for an individual with special needs who struggles with balance and coordination. For the third year, Strider Bikes, the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of no-pedal balance bikes, is teaming up with the Friendship Circle for their Great Bike Giveaway.

More than one million people participated in the Great Bike Giveaway and 145 children and teens received bicycles. The annual program has given away 300 adaptive bikes since its inception in 2012.

“Something he’s always struggled with is moving the pedals and the balancing all at once,” said Jennifer Price in the Great Bike Giveaway video. Her son, Liam Snyder, won a Strider Bike in last year’s Great Bike Giveaway. He is featured in the video, along with several other winners, whose parents share how the bikes have changed the lives of their children.

Since its inception in 2007, Strider has donated over $600,000, which includes $250,000 in cash and $350,000 in bikes, to organizations that serve children and adults in need. Strider formalized its benevolence commitment with the creation of The Rider Fund, which was first introduced June 2014 at the Special Olympics USA Games. Since then, Strider has committed one percent of gross revenue from all sales worldwide to this fund. For more information about the Strider Rider Fund.
