The Strida is a portable folding bicycle with a distinctive 'A'-shaped collapsible frame.

Aimed primarily at commuters and city dwellers whose storage space might be limited, the Strida is designed to be simple to use, quick to fold, and easy to maintain. A folded Strida can be wheeled on and off trains and buses easily, and can provide greater mobility between other forms of transport.

A distinctive characteristic is that the Strida folds into a "wheeled walking-stick" that can be pushed along, much like a folded pram/baby-buggy whose folding concept provided the inspiration for the design.

Other notable characteristics include:

• a greaseless kevlar belt that replaces the traditional chain drive to avoid mess
• minimalist design (single speed, aluminium-triangle frame, etc.)
• low-maintenance brakes ( disc brakes on the Strida 5)
• 16-inch or 14-inch wheels

Optional upgrade kits offer folding handlebars, a gel-padded seat, folding pedals, rear rack, and mudguards.
