Yeah, I'm liking the Mini, too. Thanks for your input.
Between the price, design, and single speed, I don't think I'd like the Strida. The only thing it's got in my favor is that it folds tall and easy to walk. I think some of the hills I'm likely to ride up and down are too much for a single speeder to handle, but I've got so little riding experience that I can't know for sure.
