Cancel your summer racing plans.

The Strider Cup National Race Series, The Cutest Race in The World, just announced the US dates and locations for the race series geared towards children under 5 (or in other words the future of cycling), making it a perfect fun way to introduce children to competitive-ish cycling.

Racing on Strider Balance Bikes kids learn the basics of riding while honing advanced racing skills - like drafting, yelling "puhl tru", crashing (knee and arm pads not optional) and dealing with tifosi and paparazzi.

This is your opportunity to race vicariously through your kids and turn a $80 driveway push bike into a $1,000 custom racing machine with carbon mini disc wheels, aero bars, custom color coordinated Nikes with no-slip tape and of course a Mickey/Minnie Mouse skin-suit.

Think about it, the possibilities to carbon bond with your children are almost endless.

Unfortunately, just like at Pro Tour races sometime people get carried away and cheat. No worries, protests regarding race results may be filed with 30 minutes of the finish of a race - if you want to be labeled an overzealous cycling parent and take all the fun out of the event.

It's a great way to start a life-long cycling journey.
