Katie created the Sizzlin’ Summer Nights Strider Cup at the downtown Sizzlin’ Summer Nights Car & Bike Show in Aberdeen, SD to enhance the family-oriented experience. This allows kiddos to compete at the Strider Cup event by racing and learning to ride on 2 wheels.
Over 60 kids competed this year on 6 Striders in 3 different sizes. Each rider competed on a timed course. Prizes are given away for the fastest time in each age category 1-8 and then a trophy for the overall fastest time.
After the event, Katie commented, “This event continues to get more fun each year! Thanks to all who came out to support and congratulations to all who competed!”
Anytime you have hot rods and custom bikes you have beverages. Besides the standard adult beverages, Katie noted that she saw a plethora of coffee (for the tall people) and juice boxes (for the short people).

The husband and wife team of Katie and James Washnok bring awareness to the All Kids Bike program through supporting events like this one as well as the annual Flying Piston Benefit at the Buffalo Chip.
By teaching kids to ride in school, we are getting kindergartners on bikes the opportunity to experience the joy of two wheels.
