I don't understand the fascination with Stridas. Their ride position is unusually poor, especially for anyone even moderately tall, they have surprisingly dangerous braking, they're very squirrelly, they have only one gear, they have almost no standard parts, and they fold to a rather large package. Oh, yes, and they're $900. I can't understand why in heaven's name someone would buy one when the Dahon Mu P8 is $729 and the Bike Friday Tikit Model T is $1000, both superior bikes in most every way. It's got to be some obsession with riding a triangle to work.
