Bob Nesson, owner of a Strida folding bicycle, demonstrates how it folds. Its form factor when folded is more or less that of a broom -- long and thin. It is very convenient for storage and for taking on public transportation. It is probably less convenient to fit into a car trunk.The Strida is not a particularly fast folder -- the Bike Friday tikit and the Brompton are the speed champions. The Strida's unusual triangular frame places a taller rider farther forward and a shorter one farther rearward, unlike other bicycles where the angle between the pedals and saddle remains the same as the saddle is raised or lowered. For this reason, the Strida works best for riders of intermediate height.
