About Early Rider: Founded in 2005 by Andy Loveland who built the first Early Rider wooden balance bike in his shed. Since then Early Rider have been dedicated to getting children out riding bikes and connecting with their surroundings. They believe riding bikes shouldn't be a milestone or simply a means to get from A to B but a vehicle for adventure, a reason to shun screen time and inactivity. The kids bike industry is full of marketing waffle, genderisation, baskets, tassels, cartoon characters. Early Rider reject this path simply building awesome bikes.... in kids sizes. Motivation is precious when it comes to children, in making bikes fit for purpose, age appropriate and fit for the environments children will be riding in Early Rider aim to inspire confidence at every stage. There's no better way to connect with the world around us than to get riding a bike.
