Those bikes are still too big to be easily carried. I like the fact that the Strida folds in 15 seconds and rolls on its wheels like a toddler stroller and the fact that it has a cleaner belt drive rather than a chain...

They have an "S & S" coupling system that allows the frame to be split. The whole thing, wheels and all, fits inside a 26 x 26 x 10 suitcase (inches), that can go on an airline without an oversize charge. I drool over these, and now I've just found out that they have an option to install one on an existing bike (since I already own and earlier R&E model). But they ain't cheap! |
Good for shipping but not for frequent assembly/disassembly cycles...

The prices, though! Imagine spending that much on a bike, and then having it stolen anyway  |
Maybe but if it folds you'll be able to bring it inside and store it in any closet...
