"it may sound funny, but i figured out what riding the strida will save me in time off my daily commute, about 40 minutes a day. . .that means the time i'm saving by riding a strida to and from the train station is equivalent to (i) not having to work a month's worth of 8-hour work-days or (ii) having an additional two months worth of 12-hour weekends..."
- P. de Genaro, strida owner
 The strida is at the forefront of bicycle design. its strong frame and patented technology make it one of the best bikes on the market. strida is the only folding bike that is greaseless, corrosion resistant, and virtually maintenance free. It is also the world's lightest folding production bike and can easily be rolled when folded. Through design and manufacturing leadership, the strida is backed with the strongest warranty package in the bike business. This bicycle stows almost anywhere, while folding quickly and easily without having to remove parts or use complicated tools. It is the ultimate in urban transport for any Australian city.
Riding the strida is fantastic! The short wheelbase allows for outstanding maneuverability and quick acceleration. Automatic-style hub brakes deliver strong predictable braking, even in wet conditions. The strida's heads-up riding position allows a rider a commanding view of surrounding traffic and terrain. injection nylon seat mouldings suspend your body, giving you a smoother ride.
The strida is designed for riders who want clean, convenient and portable transportation available on a moment's notice. It is ideal for boaters, pilots and anyone with short commutes, island hopping, city life, getting around campus or any time you need a whole new way to move.
The bike is great to check on commercial airlines. unlike most other bicycles, there are no derailleurs or brake calipers to bend, no spokes to break, no cables to get tangled, no stem to remove, no sharp edges to tear through packing material, no chain to get everything greasy, and no bike fees to pay. the bike in the bag resembles a set of golf clubs and never gets a second look. once you've arrived, the bike is easy to put in the trunk of a cab, or store in a hotel closet.
