Presenting all steps of sketch drawings which were performed by Mark Sanders to create Strida has the highest value, displaing process of design, and the incentive puts Dezeen ahead of many magasines.
Althouth, Strida's enlarged frame did not achieve contracting of the weight. Its exsotic appearance served only as a means for their owners to make statement : I am not like othser.

Excelent! Wonderful post. I would like to congratulate the people who made this post, but also the Design Group from the Open University, specially in the name of Dr Robin Roy, who was one of the first industrial design researchers using such fantastic didactics material to teach creativity. Brilliant.

Excelente! maravilha de publicação eletrônica. Gostaria de agradecer ao grupo de pessoas que publicou este material, mas também o Grupo de Desenhadores da Open University, especialmente o nome do Dr Robin Roy, aquele que foi um dos pioneiros pesquisadores em Desenho industrial a usar esse fantástico material didático para o ensino de criatividade. Brilhante!

I have a Strida 5 and love it for fun and short commutes. My regular daily commute is on a Dahon speed Pro with a Dahon Matrix as a biff and bash on single tracks, of course the Road bike sits ready for really serious distance. I road 111Km on the Tour Down Under challenge on the Strida 5 (with a top hat) to raise funds for a charity – it wasnt too hard and it sure was fun.
Love to know why the Strida Duo (2 Speed) uses the schlumf 1:1.66 planetary rather than the 1:2.5 ratio. The wider ratio would give real climbing gears if you started at say 33.3 Gear Inches you would have a good top ratio at 83.3 Gear Inches. Single speed Stria 5 is 56 Gear Inches by comparison.
PS I use Maxxis Hookworm 16X1.9 100PSI tyre on my Strida they do make an improvement but required extension on the magnetic catch.

Thanks
Eric

seems its not a natural design for bike, but i like it when the bike can even fold like it can carry on car or even traveling without even wondering the space you will used in order to put it on your car.

I have a Strida i bought from a good friend very cheaply and i believe it is a mark one {how can i find out}
I found the first ride wobbly for approx three seconds then i remembered how to ride a bike{been out of the saddle for ten years or more}
No other design of folding bicycle comes even close to the Strida for me although i have never ridden any other and it feels as though anyone could ride the bike all day long so long as they are not in a hurry which is not slow but not mountain bike eighteen gears speed as i only have the one gear.
Strida speed i am saying.
Love the site.Well done.
