Following are photos and links to more about all Strida bicycles in stock (go straight to the list now).
Designer Mark Sanders understood that commuters yearned for a low maintenance bicycle that they could take on the train, bus or subway. In 1987, he invented the Strida to be a simple, commuter friendly bike. He substituted a clean & greaseless kevlar belt for the standard, oily chain and used internal drum brakes instead of brake pads that rubbed on the outside of the wheel rims. But his most radical solution was his reinventing of the bike frame itself. Mark pared the frame down to just 3 tubes of aluminum that looked like a triangle with wheels. On demand, the frame folds in seconds into a stick about as long as a walking cane but with 2 wheels that roll easily down the narrow aisle of a bus, etc.
Strida's distinctive, minimalist, 'A' shaped, collapsible-frame design and beautiful finish make you a trend setter simply by association. Talk about making friends and influencing people... not only is the Strida a date magnet; just owning one may gain you a pay raise ;-)
The Strida's Gates kevlar drive belt and disc brakes will last virtually forever. With disc brakes, the sidewalls of the wheels do not wear down.
The STRiDA has won many awards including ID Magazine's prestigious Design Review award, Cyclex awards, and Millennium Product awards. It is displayed in several design museums worldwide including London's Design Museum and Nijmegen Fietsmuseum, Holland and the New York Museum of Modern Art retail collection.
