I would love to have a go on a Strida so that I could give an opinion - 
they don't look quite sturdy enough to me. I rode 10 miles a day for 2 
years on a Brompton before it was so knackered it needed a real service, 
and heartily recommend them. They have a great resale value too - a 
friend just sold his on ebay for more than he paid for it.
