Strider Bikes staff do some product testing! Fun!

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

The Strider Bikes staff take a few ‘mildly modified’ Strider PREbike balance bikes running some of the downhill mountain bike trails on M Hill in Rapid City, SD. The video definitely shows how durable the frame is when a bunch of grown men can come down through this rough terrain and even land some jumps on the footrests. Enjoy the video…

Wednesday Morning Story Time: For Just One Day

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Wednesday Morning Story Time is happening tomorrow…We’re going to read For Just One Day by Laura Leuck. This story was such a hit with the little ones that we are presenting it again for their listening pleasure!

For just one day, I’d like to be a busy, buzzing bumble…BEE!
What child hasn’t pretended to be a monkey, a bear, or a bumblebee? After imagining the fun of being a variety of animals from around the world, a sweet ending—and an attached mirror—remind little ones that the very best thing they can be is exactly who they are.

Laura Leuck is the author of several popular books, including Jeepers Creepers: A Monstrous ABC, Santa Claws, and My Monster Mama Loves Me So. She lives in Florida. Marc Boutavant is an illustrator, graphic artist, and comic strip author. He lives in Paris.

You can find For Just One Day on our web store.

About Wednesday Morning Story Time: We will be reading a different book from our vast selection Wednesdays at 10:30 am at our Port Moody store. Try to swing by every Wednesday morning… and we’ll read to your child while you can enjoy the book, browse, shop or just daydream. If you like the book we’ve read, you will be able purchase it at a special price on the day of the reading.

We’ve teamed up with our friendly neighbours, the Suter Brook Village Booster Juice, so your kids can enjoy a kids size smoothie on dandelion KIDS, while listening to our story. Yummy!!

Please RSVP with a phone call or email so we have an idea of how many pillows to put out and juices to order.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday mornings!
