Strida!

[ClockworkOrange]

I did a mad thing today, although have spent months checking the bike out, today I bought a STRIDA. Well, actually it is a birthday pressie for me from my partner.

The blame is going on Lemongrass, runningteach and NbyNW. On another thread of mine, they encouraged me to stick with things and also perhaps focus on something else.

I have a Mini Convertible, which means I cannot put a bike rack on it, so, the only bike I can get in the boot is a Strida which only weighs 9.6 kilos.





Poole Quayside.

Now the bike has no gears but I just want to amble along, so I can keep it in the car and before I go off to work for lunch time, I can ride along the sea front.





Now, I have not seen one apart from on the internet and no, have obviously never ridden one. I know it will take a time getting use to as the handlebars are only 20" in length but away from everybody, I can practice it non-stop.

I am hoping to collect it from London on Saturday.

Isn't lovely sometimes feeling like a 6 year old again........so long as I forget to stick the zero on the end.

Interesting..saw a few Stridas in my search for a folding bike.

Folding bike will be most definitely a bike for touring and train/transit travel combo trips, to save cost of whole bike shipping.

We've already bike toured several times on regular bikes over the years.

Does it have brakes?

i saw these at a show in Vancouver, BC. pretty cool. once you learn how to put it together and take it apart, it's easy. congrats on your new bike!
