Back to school season will soon be in full swing, and while traditional classroom supplies shopping is a must, it's also a time to think about kids' physical activities and ways to get their energy out when they're not sitting at their desk.
I had a chance to learn more about Early Rider, the first ever creator of the Balance Bike, and tips for bike safety and activity.
Why is it important to encourage physical activity from an early age?
Physical activity is essential to early development—it’s how kids build coordination, confidence, and independence. At Early Rider, we design tools that help children develop these foundations from the very start. Riding a bike isn’t just play—it’s a physical and cognitive milestone that nurtures focus, resilience, and spatial awareness. By encouraging movement through adventure, we’re helping children grow into confident, capable individuals.
How does bike riding foster independence?
Bike riding is one of the earliest ways a child experiences true autonomy. They’re steering, balancing, and making decisions—all on their own. At Early Rider, our products are designed to nurture that independence while ensuring kids feel safe and in control. When a child learns to ride, they don’t just gain mobility—they gain confidence, courage, and a deeper belief in their own abilities. It’s a small ride with a big impact.
How can families make sure their kids are learning about bike safety from an early age?
Start with the right bike. The most important factor in bike safety is fit—and that means measuring your child’s inside leg, not just going by age. A properly fitted bike gives kids the control and confidence to ride safely. We recommend parents check out our sizing guide at earlyrider.com/pages/sizing
Adventure is at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just build bikes—we build the tools that enable children to explore their world. From balance bikes to first pedal bikes, our products are lightweight, beautifully crafted, and thoughtfully engineered to help kids develop skills at their own pace. But what truly sets us apart is our focus on the big picture—helping kids grow, helping parents connect, and helping the planet by designing bikes that are durable, serviceable, and built to last. Early Rider is for families who believe adventure should start early—and never stop.
