A Different Kind Of Folding Bike

Check this new bike technology out on http://stridala.wordpress.com.

It takes 5 seconds to unfold and carries a whole lot of positives like:


Unlike other folding bikes, STRiDA has. . .
  • a comfortable, upright riding position with superb visibility.
  • the ability to roll when folded.
  • the smallest footprint of any full-sized folder.
  • no gears to worry about. Just pedal and go.
  • the easiest fold. No need to think about complex sequences. You don’t even need to bend down. Magnets do all the work for you.
  • a convenient umbrella shape when folded.
  • a clean, quiet belt.
  • no oily chain or gears. Your trousers stay pristine.
  • a large, distinctive triangular frame as the dominant visual.
  • one-sided wheel mounting for easy tire and tube changes.
  • a short wheelbase. In bike mode, it takes up much less space than most bikes. Pedestrians will thank you. In folded mode, it takes up next to no space.
  • the ability to prop up vertically.
  • a rack that makes a convenient stand when folded.


Prices start at 600 and go up to 1200. My favorite, the LT in cream.
