[innomind]

@adphotovideo I used Sony XR520V camcorder with Steadicam Merlin to stabilize the video while in motion.

Nice review! I pondered on purchasing one of these bikes for quite some time now, but just like what is said in the video. I wish the entry price was around the $500 usd range.

I ride a 12 mile loop at least 5x a week on my regular bike going to school and doing errands, mostly flat and about a mile of slight uphill. Is there anyone here who does this or something similar on their Strida? Any ideas from actual riders? Thanks =)

[innomind]

@MultiIngredients For what you need a bike for Strida will bring style and portability.

Thanks for the indepth review...which model was this?

[innomind]

@cmcnutt54 Strida 5 (1-speed)

The lower the weight of the bike the more expensive this bike will become. Going all carbon fibre is an expensive alternative.

I just came for a girl in green who looks like SASHA GREY!!!

@diesopain

Not that wouldn't be nice, but he was also wearing rollerblades at the same time, so if you were just wearing kneepads I don't think it would be an issue.

[diesopain]

i think u forgot another wishlist that is adjustable handlebars that slides horizontally for more space between the knees and handle as address by one of the testers that the knee would touch with knee pads on.

If there was ever a case of leading the witness.
