I have now sold my Strida II to Sean,
one of our other drivers, he is getting quite a lot of use out of it. I bought
the new Strida III which has some brilliant new design details, but which,
unfortunately, is now made, not in Suffolk, but Taiwan.
My original Strida III suffered from
a catalogue failures. Strida UK agreed to replace it with a new
one. This one has been trouble free. And has been used in dozens of countries
so far.
Oh, Oh, here we go again!
My Strida III was stolen out of a locker on my bus while parked in Belfast !
That's 2 folders stolen there now!
I have replaced it with another
Strida III
And, on top of that, I got knocked off my recumbent in Galway!!! (Mine was the only bike in the whole town with more lights than an Xmas tree & I got knocked off!!!)
Bloody Irish!

| Don't
panic! I'm not trying to make a Strida / Birdy / Rohloff hybrid! |

The Strida II was a big improvement on the earlier model |
It's clever design and stylish looks have won it many awards. |
|
| |
Toothed rubber belt is very tough rarely needs adjusting and would probably outlast the bike! |
Folding pedals help narrow the folde package down. |
|
| |
The Strida II relied on these plastic male & female clips to clip the wheels together. |

I fitted a flame saddle that I bought in Christiania Cycles, Cpenhagen, Denmark. |

I visit. |

I hope you
appreciate these photos! The chap in the glasses attacked me for
photographing 'HIM'! He tried to wreck my camera! I told him very
'politely' that I didn't fancy him at all! h |
A great little pub with a fabulous
selection of beers, well worth seeking out!

Actor Rhys Ifans took a shine to my Strida III & said he'd like one for use in London |
I think that means you can have it back in 1 minute! |

YeeHah!!!! |
The Strida Shop in Amsterdam. The only shop in the World which is devoted to nothing but Stridas opened in January 2005. The owner is seen checking out my modified Strida III.

They even had a Strida which was fitted with TomTom navigation. |

I came back to pick up my Strida from the nice people at the Amsterdam shop |
It looks like a nasty accident, but it my Strida, the old plastic wheels & tyres, a luggage rack and a bag of laundery all crammed into my BoB Ibex behind my GoBike! |
