Strida Folding Bike easy to ride for the non-cyclist, with a weather forecast yet.

Back in August (when the weather was nice), savedbybikes.com donated a Strida Folding Bike to a Toronto news channel (CP24 Breakfast) for a free giveaway. Nalina Sharma who does the weather on air has never ridden a bicycle in public. Not only does she ride the Strida just fine, but gives the on-air weather forecast from the bike with a police escort.
Good video for people to see how easy it is to ride a Strida Folding Bike even when you are not good, or have no experience on bicycles.
