how it behave. But no problem keeping balance on it at all.
So there must be something else that get me into trouble.

Could it be the angle of the steering stem? What else?
Maybe seat wobble or are you a 7 foot tall Viking type?

Maybe your knees are hitting the handlebars!

Otherwise I'm baffled, the other owners don't admit to it taking a long time to learn to ride a Strida because I don't know anyone else that has found it as difficult, maybe it's a badly prepared Strida.

Come with us in my Sleeper Bus to the German Spezi Cycle Show in April (with Velovision Magazine)
We will have a great selection of folders travelling with us & plenty of time to get used to them.
