I can’t count how many times I have watched this video of my little Julia on her balance bike. I just love it!!!

So I wanted to remind you all about the giveaway we have running right now where you could win one of two Strider Running Bikes!

A Balance bike or Running bike is a small bicycle without pedals that kids can ride before they are able to ride a traditional two-wheel pedal bike. Kids learn amazing balance and have so much fun!

Julia started riding her balance bike when she was 2 and rode it almost every day until she was 4. For her 4th birthday we gave her a pedal bicycle and she got on and rode it immediately without any training wheels.

Even though she rides her pedal bike like a pro, she still loves her balance bike and also rides it almost every day. (Julia and Sophia both LOVE being outside and riding bikes. Trying to get them to come in at the end of the day is a battle.)

We are giving away two Strider Running Bikes from our Pedal Cars and Retro Collectibles store.

As we explained in our first post about this Strider Bike giveaway, we’re running this giveaway a little differently…

Here’s how to win:

To enter this giveway on your own blog OR Facebook profile OR Myspace page OR LiveJournal page, write a post or a note telling us a story about your first bike or how you learned to ride a bike. Just tell us a little story or tidbit related to you as a little tyke with a bike AND link back here to this post AND link to our store’s Balance Bike page.

Then add your link here in this Mr. Linky. Copy the url of your blog post or your post on one of those social media sites.

If it’s a Facebook profile, you’ll need to add us as Friends so that we can come read your story. We are:

IMPORTANT: We will draw the two random winners from the Mr. Linky entries instead of the comments.

That means we will NOT have your email address to notify you if you win… so you MUST check back here to see if you are a winner and claim your prize. (We’ll try to contact you through your blog if you have one.) We will announce the winner here on Monday, July 20th.

Remember to watch our RSS feed and/or check back here to see if you won. If we don’t hear from you within a week, you forfeit your prize.

This is the same Mr. Linky as in the original post. You can add your link here or on the original post and it will show in both places.
