Buy Strider Balance Bikes, cycle helmets, Scoobits and other accessories from Balance 1st.

Here at Balance 1st Children's Bikes & Accessories we are firm believers in the educational benefits of teaching children to ride using a Balance Bike, instead of a regular, much heavier bike fitted with training wheels. To this end we stock what we believe to the best Balance Bike available on the market today, the Strider ST3 Balance Bike.

Strider Bikes, sometimes known as Strider PreBikes or Strider Running Bikes, are light. Strider Bikes are highly adjustable. Strider Bikes are suitable from 18 months to 5+ years. Follow the links to the left to learn more.

We are Authorised Dealers of Strider Balance Bikes.

In February 2012 following a change to the terms & conditions issued to all Strider Balance Bike dealers concerning the use of the word Strider, we have had to change our trading name from Strider Rider UK to Balance 1st.

Nothing has changed except our name, we still offer the same great service you've come to expect!
