Strider World Cup Sprints To Oldsmar, FL For USA BMX Gator Nationals

STRIDER World Cup Racing Arrives In Tampa/St. Petersburg At Oldsmar BMX March 9th

Rapid City, SD (February 25, 2013) — Strider Sports International, developer of the patented STRIDER™ No-Pedal Balance Bikes, is bringing the Strider World Cup™ to Oldsmar, Florida for the USA BMX Gator Nationals March 9th at 3120 Tampa Road, Oldsmar, FL 34677. Detailed Times and Map can be found in our calendar.

The season-long Strider World Cup series gives toddlers ages two to five 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 drop the gate at 11:15am on Saturday, with registration from 7:30 to 9:30am. The whole family can enjoy the Strider experience at the Adventure Zone from 9am to 5pm Friday and Saturday. Toddlers can test ride their favorite Strider on the obstacle course while playing, learning, and socializing with peers on two wheels.

The toddlers ride their balance bikes on a small portion of the same track being used for the USA BMX Gator Nationals and the UCI Pro Series race featuring the fastest BMX racers in the world. Be sure to get a spot on the fence to see many of the same racers who participated in last summer’s London Olympics.

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.”
