I just took delivery of my Strida this week, and I absolutely love it.

Any other Strida owners or others considering buying one here in the GTA?

Hi Autoworker, I've never heard of Strida so I looked them up on the web. I have often thought about getting a folding bike to take on holidays. Sometimes it's a pain to take one of my other bikes. Which model did you get? Maybe post a photo. Is it new or used and where did you get it and $?
I notice that we live fairly close and that you are a electrician at GM. I am also a electrician at Kraft in Cobourg until the end of the year when we are closing and am also a married empty nester. I know several electricians that I worked with that have gone to GM over the years. We have a soon to be retired GM worker who has opened a bike shop in Cobourg, sure cuts down on the driving to get to a bike shop.
Happy cycling!

BEWARE!!!

Many of the listings on Craiglist and Kijiji are Chinese knock-offs. Not the real thing. If you want to risk your life going down hill at 50 kph to Chinese quality control, go ahead.
