'Strida' thats a bike not heard much on here, nevertheless a fab bike, I'm now on my 3rd

1st: Mk3 from about 2003 stolen

2nd: Mk3 given to son - still in use, very useful for aircraft travel as it goes for free as 'Golf clubs' and with plastic wheels etc its pretty 'handler proof'

3rd: Mk5 now getting on for 10 years old and in almost daily use. We have several other bikes but Strida is the 'go-to' as its simple, light, and easy to use, and has a great upright, 'Dutch' riding position. It is especially good on shared paths where short wheelbase, and face forward is a bonus.

My wife has an LT, the newest, the cheapest and IMHO the best . It fits her perfectly and she wont ride anything else now.

These bikes have improved massivley over the years, so comments and experiences about bikes that are now 15 - 20 years old should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Below are some links and pictures you might find useful (although I just googled and its much more popular than I imagined).
