After watching a young man on a "Razor"-type scooter go sprawling in middle of the street during our Independence Day parade here when the front wheel hit a rather small hole in the pavment, I think I'd choose the larger wheels of the Strida, even if it weighs a bit more.

the whole point of the strida's it's long and thin when folded up so you don't carry it, you drag it. if she had dragged it around, she woldn't have had problems. also the A-bike takes about 20 seconds to unfold with practice, the strida takes about 3 as there's only 1 movement.

JMFC Why can't I find ONE video reviewing the Strida bike that isn't full of wacky-zany types trying to put on some slapstick show?? Oh look, this guy's wearing a checkered newsboy cap with his heavy rim glasses. The last guy had a fro sticking out under his snowboard helmet, and heavy rim glasses. HOW CUTE. Neither of them showed much of the bike being ridden.

the strida is such an awesome looking machine. I am going to buy one someday

the strida is good for traveling on bus and trains but you have to deal with a larger bike. the a-bike is made for using between trains buses and airplanes(because my a-bike fits in a suit case) use for short distance riding.

i think strida will be more usefull in road, because the body is totally and really same with normal bike, but a-bike it's like otopet because the wheels is so small and the speed is more slowly tha strida. however, the basic function from the bike is make it easy as transportation and make it time be more effective. :)

the guy with the not available hairs looks like the guy from six flag advertisment ;)

[OldmanMaestro]

gonna get one.

Al parecer es mas comoda la bicicleta Strida ya que A-bike tiene problemas con los lomos o con las subidas por el tamaño des sus ruedas, en cambio Strida se asemeja mas a una bicicleta convencional... Por ahora me quedo con Strida

[milkkart]

no its a different guy but they are eerily simiar aren't they? i swear when they want to move the format onto a new subject they just clone up a new set of presenters.
