A box arrived today from Areaware, containing a Strida water bottle holder, saddlebag, and alloy pannier rack. A few tools and an hour later, my Strida LT is accessorized.

Strida and Areaware are both too aggressive about slapping their logos and taglines on everything - this coming from a business school professor . Unable to bear the thought of broadcasting "a whole new way to move" (ick) from my Strida's fore and aft, the white stitching so proclaiming had a meaningful encounter with a black Sharpie. (I'm still finding and peeling off stickers announcing Strida's and Areaware's web addresses. Enough already!)

I'll be interested to see what panniers, if any, I can attach to the rack and how useful the included bungee contraption is. Must get a Sigg or other like bottle for the holder. The saddlebag presently holds the all-powerful, all-in-one tool (screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.) the boys recommended at Rapid Transit.
