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.

“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.”
