I have a Strida fold-up bike and for the most part I love it: it rides nicely, folds up in literally three seconds, is hand portable, can be taken realistically and frequently on public transport, doesn't require much maintenance, and is the most amazing conversation starting object I've ever owned.

I've written a few times in my journal about it:

• the time I I took the Strida into a West End nightclub cloakroom,
• a funny story about the Strida's high-speed folding getting me out of trouble on a bus,
• how my Strida facilitated a seven-modes-of-transport day.
