What is a Strider?
Striders were first designed and manufactured in 2007 in the United States as a new alternative way to helping children learn to ride their bikes. Foregoing traditional bike pedals, the Strider focuses on helping learners develop a sense of balance on two wheels while relying on their feet to "kick-off" the ground for forward propulsion. Striders are designed for children ages two to five years old, just the at the age that many children begin to learn to ride a bicycle.
What is the Enjoy Cup?
First and foremost, the main purpose of the Enjoy Cup is in it's namesake—having fun and enjoying friendly competition. Held all across Japan and the world, children ages two to six are eligible to enter. All entries are welcome, of course, as this friendly event aims to be inclusive to all. There are four age categories dividing the event up to help ensure everyone has a good time (children will be divided into the following categories: 2-year-old age group, 3-year-old age group, 4-year-old age group, and 5-and-six-year-old age group).
