spin
cycle: portable minibicycles area an attractive concept for travelers
who want to take along a trusty two-wheeler that can be stowed easily
in a plane, boat, train or car trunk. trouble is, most of these bikes
are akward to assemble and disassemble and can be messy when handling
greasy chains.
the
new strida bike eliminates those problems. the unusual triangular a-frame
uses just three aluminium tubes and a few joints that fold quickly into
a compact 44 inches by 20 inches by 20 inches. the bike weighs 22 pounds,
has a grease-free belt-drive instead of chains, and can be locked through
either the frame or wheels without removing any parts. the 16-inch wheels,
single speed, and upright seat-design do not make this a long distance
vehicle. but for short outings the strida is a convenient and manageable
athletic accessory.
