'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.
[MENTION=214700]Lucillle[/MENTION] Enjoy ! you will stand out riding on a triangle - but in a good way. Yes the bike (on its own) looks 'different', but with someone on it, it looks 'right'.
Below are some links and pictures you might find useful (although I just
googled and its much more popular than I imagined).
