Twenty-six young bike enthusiasts from across the country streamed to the BMX track in Bulwell near Nottingham for an exciting day’s racing.
The two- to- five-year-old competitors put a huge amount of effort and skill into their racing, which organisers rewarded with a gold medal.
Racing over a series of heats, the pint-sized athletes braved the lumps and bumps along the BMX track, and soon started flying effortlessly around the course, without needing the helpers on hand.
The Strider Cup event was designed to encourage the next generation of British cyclists to get out and explore the world on two wheels in a safe play environment.
Melanie Thomas, director of Melrose Kids (the official UK distributor for Strider), said, ‘It was amazing to see the enjoyment of the kids and [it] just gave us a taste of the fun we’ll have throughout the year as the series of Strider events unfolds.’.gif)
