Four weeks with the Strida bicycle

Kid's on the street has started to address me stating I have a cool bicycle. Quite a new experience to me.

The Strida bicycle has turned out to be a great conversation starter and has added an amazing coolness factor to me. Everyday I talk to strangers on the metro. Some talk about how practical it seems, other just stare at the new cool vehicle like it was the next cool thing after rolerblades or something.

Performance wise, I have found the Strida to be a lot faster than expected and I now fold / unfold it in about 30 seconds. This bike has saved me lots of time.

The main negativre thing about the bike is that it throws dirt on me when it rains, so I will have to modify the bike a little to protect water and dirt being thrown up from the road onto me.

Back to the fun: This bike is really FUN to ride and a as I mentioned a great conversation starter. What puzzels me is the amount of people who immediately sees the problem the bike solves yet they seem incapable of applying this solution to their own life.
