The Custom Strider Bikes
Step into the world of two-wheel wonders with the Tiny Strider Customs Bike Program!
It’s not just any bike makeover – it’s a gathering of the greatest minds in custom bike building, all coming together for a good cause. This program has drawn the attention of renowned builders who bring their expertise to the table. These miniature marvels are more than just toys; they’re chopped, bagged, raked, and painted to perfection, giving each Strider Bike a one-of-a-kind custom look that’s sure to turn heads in your office, bonus room, or garage.
So, whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting out, hop on board and support a cause that’s as thrilling as the ride itself!
Proceeds from the auction are used to provide bikes to Kindergartner PE classes across the US. With the help from the Flying Piston Benefit, over 1,000 schools have received bikes and over 200,000 kids have learned to ride. A big thank you goes out to all that have participated.
About the 60’s Psychedelic Art Movement
Our theme for Sturgis is Psychedelic Art – The Psychedelic Art movement began in the mid-1960s and had an effect not only on music but also on many aspects of popular culture. This includes lifestyle, clothing, language, art, literature and philosophy.
People ask that all the time, “Where are the New Riders?” Well, we have looked high and low and found them.
Right now, they’re in kindergarten! And we support the sport of motorcycling by starting kids out on the right path: on 2 wheels! Proceeds from the breakfast and auction put bike riding programs into P.E. classes across the US. Also, a portion of the proceeds goes to Motorcycle Missions, supporting veterans with PTSD.
About The Flying Piston: The Flying Piston Benefit is produced by Marilyn Stemp of Iron Trader News & Jeff Najar of Horsepower Marketing. Funds are raised to train kindergartners on how to ride bikes by donating balance bikes to P.E. kindergartner classes. We’ve assisted in training over 200,000 kids across the USA. We also focus on VETS. To help out and to join the team, click here.
