We can’t wait! For Car Free Day, Commercial Drive turns into a big, fun party with tons of kids, dogs, bikes and a little craziness.  Loads of music, amazing food, street hockey, a roller disco (yes, with old school roller skates! and cool DJ’s) and much much more!

We don’t care how you get here…just don’t drive!

Yum! Now it’s time to settle down and enjoy the story.


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…

Yay! It’s Almost Mother’s Day!

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Mother’s Day is such a special day for many families…not least for the kids who want to make or do something utterly wonderful for their Mamas. In our house, there have been some French Toast making lessons much to my hearts delight! Spring flowers are also a lovely way to express happiness and love. Naturally, we think a fistful of dandelions from our favourite little hands and a big hug are priceless gifts for Mother’s Day! However, if you want to put together something slightly more extravagant, our two shops are conveniently near two amazing florists:

The Flower Box on Charles Street in Vancouver is a stone’s throw from our shop. Just follow the scattered rose petals from Commercial Drive and you can’t miss it. Beautiful pre-made bouquets in a variety of price points decorate the entrance. Inside, chose from all manner of gorgeous blooms or potted flowers. The helpful staff will assist in putting together a charming arrangement with skillful hands. Can you tell we are fans?

Just across the way from dandelion KIDS in Suter Brook Village, Port Moody is Bayshore Floral and Gift Gallery. A lovely little shop with loads of pretty bouquets and stems to chose from that brightens our day. Again, helpful and friendly staff will make the blooms you chose evolve into beautiful bouquets perfect for Mom!
