Somebody works with Clive Sinclair, then has differences and decides to go out on his own. Sounds a lot like Chris Curry did when going off to start Acorn…

I think Strida wheels are 16″ with 18″ wheels and even gears now as options.

OMG! It’s the “5th gear” tv show template. The hosts look, move and sound the same. Don’t tell me all the shows are like this. Isn’t John from 5th gear?

After watching a young man on a “Razor”-type scooter go sprawling in middle of the street during our Independence Day parade here when the front wheel hit a rather small hole in the pavment, I think I’d choose the larger wheels of the Strida, even if it weighs a bit more.

you mean 10in wheels? yeah i noticed that too. oh well no biggie
February 3rd, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Very informative and entertaining, thank you!

so cooool! I like it~

I’m going to get one someday, maybe by the end of this year or early next year. Oh, I didn’t say which one, I want the Strida. It is quite expensive thats why I’m holding off. It is 800usd. The most appealing to me about the Strida than any other folding bikes is the “strolling” part when it is folded. You can drag it by wheels when not in used. Other folding bikes including the Abike, you’d have to carry it. I’m doing a lot of research on the Strida. Any tips-please hit me up. tnx

The advantage of the Strida is it rolls when folded – so you never have to carry it, also the efficient belt drive means no oil or grease. Dahon make great bikes and one day they will add these features too.

the only way would use the abike is in the back of my car for an emergency.
the strida looks much more comfortable and efficient, and to me even seems more portable, because face it, no one is going to run a race with their bike, and rolling it is easy.
that said, i have a dahon that i would never give up, it is the best folding bike around because it is the most normal.

Why does she keep saying 20″ wheels? Strida uses 16 inch wheels.
February 3rd, 2010 at 5:24 pm
yeah, right.. start unfolding the a-bike from inside the bag; it’s not necessary, the advantages of the other bike are obvious.
February 3rd, 2010 at 6:14 pm
forgot to say that i was wanting a strida one.
February 3rd, 2010 at 6:37 pm
And yeah, i think strida is useful when you want to use it to transport from one place to another. A-bike is for short trips–I just bought mine to ride around campus.

can you park on a handicapped space if you have a lisp?
February 3rd, 2010 at 7:37 pm
wish i had great dress sense and a lisp like him
February 3rd, 2010 at 8:22 pm
He’s like a rubbish version of Ricky Gervais. Christ, he couldn’t even unfold the A Bike OR look where he was going. Considering how inept he is at both a) cycling b) navigation and c) remaining concentrated for more than 5 seconds, it’s a wonder he actually even went near the park, let alone go past it.

‘A’ is for trips that could be walked. 10m, or 3, is more than you’ll ever take it. ‘S’ Performance Kit: Folding handlebars & pedals; good for trunks & planes, not needed for stores & buses. A quicker setup without the ‘PK’. ‘S’ is ‘strollered’ when folded, so ‘A’ feels heavier to carry. ‘S’ wheels:16″,(not 10″), which have been proven to be as efficient as full-size wheels for any speeds below racing.
