The end of an era

At last it's time to say good bye to the strider balance bike that introduced Miniman to the world of 2 wheels. As I didn't have a bike as a kid I was determined that my boy would be able to cycle and enjoy that part of the world I always envied. This little balance bike was the finest preparation he could have had. I remember walking along the canal to nursery with him as he pushed himself along on it. I remember the first time he tried out on his friends new islabike and just peddled off. Now he has his own (never needed stabilisers) and even I've got my own so we can go out together.
So here's hoping that some other little kids parent will buy this for their aspiring cyclist to do the same. Thanks! You did us proud!
