Ryan McFarland is an entrepreneur with a passion for mountain biking and motorsports. He spent his early years with a grandfather who was a race car owner and a father who owned a motorcycle dealership. After the birth of his first son Bode, Ryan was anxious to share his passions with Bode, and the Strider Bike was born.
In this episode you will hear:
- Ryan’s life story,
- His goal to see every child learning to ride a bike by the time they are in kindergarten,
- and how he grew Strider Sports into the company it is today.
Now with over 3 million bikes sold, Strider Sports International spans across the globe with distribution in over 75 countries. Even with the astounding success of Strider Bikes, Ryan stays true to his South Dakota roots and knows that this expanding global business will always be headquartered in the beautiful Black Hills - fueling the South Dakota economy and supporting nearly 50 employees and their families.
