Strida Folding Bike Circumnavigates the Polar Circle
As we mentioned in this post, the Strida bike has crossed the Sahara Desert. Now, Regis Fender has ridden from France to the Polar Circle and then circumnavigated the circle, all on his Strida; some 3500 kilometers.
As posted on RideThisBike.com
“Although a Strida folding bike may not seem like an ideal bicycle for long distance touring, Regis loves his. He has written that the belt drive and simple design makes the bike very reliable.”
You can take a look at Regis’ blog. There are some stunning images there.
There is also a posting at VivaLaBike.com where they write:
“The Strida that he rides is a folding, single gear, belt drive bike. It’s designer Mark Sanders, designed the bike for urban commuters with the intention that the bike would be used for short commutes. However, we’ve found, and Regis has proven, that the Strida is a more than capable bike for long commutes and can withstand the rigors of the road.”
Strida Folding Bike; don’t leave home without it
Two customers of savedbybikes.com sent this photo of themselves in Madrid with their Strida bikes, which they brought with them from their home in Canada to Spain.
We were delighted to see the picture and read their email message:
“Here we are in Madrid on our last day. We were 5 weeks in the north of Spain and used the bikes almost everyday! We won’t be going to Europe again without them. No problem with Air Canada …” “We love the bikes and so many people stopped to ask us about them.”
Thank you so much Roger and Myra.
