thinking of getting a strida and wanted to know if they will fit in the back/trunk area of a mini cooper? the newer mini's not the older original ones.

thanks

I was able to fit my Bike Friday Tikit with one seat folded down. I would think that a Strida would probably fit that way too. If you need it to fit with the both seats up, I couldn't say for sure... it's pretty tight back there.

Now... if you have one of the new Mini Clubman wagons... I'm sure it will fit fine.

The Swift probably has the largest fold out of the non MTB folding bikes. And it fits into my MCS with two seats down. The strida will definatly fit in the MC, but you might have to drop a seat back.

Chop!

Oh what a bugger! If you'd asked this question a few days ago, I could have told you & taken photos too.
I bought a strange old folder off ebay (see this thread) (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=567837)
Unfortunately I had no room for it in my Tourbus so I rang my mate from Marrillion, he came down with his wife in her new Mini. My new acquisition fitted OK but I now wish I'd tried my Strida 5 & taken some pics.
