The first Strida Folding Bike (1987) was invented when Mark Sanders wanted to address his difficult commute into London with an elegant, clean and portable solution. In just 15 seconds, Strida collapses into a compact unit that can be wheeled along like a unicycle or stowed in the shoulder bag (sold separately). Ideally suited to the urban commuter, the single-speed Strida features a greaseless Kevlar® chain to keep clothing pristine on the way into the office. At 19.5 lbs, it’s a versatile and adjustable transportation solution, accommodating riders 5'4"–6'4". The design has won several design awards for its subtle handling, aesthetics and engineering details. But the raves from owners throughout Europe and Asia are as much due to its peerless performance.
