RAPID CITY — Strider Sports International, developer of the patented STRIDER No-Pedal Balance Bikes, is bringing the Strider World Cup to Desoto for the USA BMX Super Nationals March 23 at Metroplex BMX, 500 E Centre Park Blvd. in Desoto.

The season-long Strider World Cup series gives toddlers two to five years old, the chance for friendly competition at events across the country. No prior experience needed. The Strider World Cup races are perfect for both beginners and more experienced riders alike.

The Strider World Cup race will start at 11:15 a.m. on Saturday, with registration from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. The whole family can enjoy the Strider experience at the Adventure Zone from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Toddlers can test ride their favorite Strider on the obstacle course while playing, learning, and socializing with peers on two wheels.

USA BMX Strider memberships are available for $25. The membership includes the racer’s first Strider World Cup race and a USA BMX membership card. Participating in a race at any USA BMX National will qualify the racer for the Strider World Championship this fall in Sarasota, Florida.

Strider Sports founder and CEO Ryan McFarland says, “At Strider Sports we are committed to supporting a fun, safe, and healthy lifestyle through bicycling. Our partnership with USA BMX has introduced hundreds of children to bicycling at a younger age than ever before. We can’t wait to continue spreading the love of cycling that will keep them fit and healthy for years to come.”
