History of Strida In 1989 UK designer Mark Sanders presented Strida 1 as the solution to traffic congestion. This collapsible bike meets all the necessary requirements: user convenience, fast folding and unfolding, minimum weight, Kevlar belt drive and easy transport of the folded bike through the use of the wheels. Its unique design and quality resulted in excellent sales en brand name awareness from 1994. Consecutively, between 1998 and 2003 Strida 1 is redesigned and updated into Strida 2 / 3 / 3.1 and 3.2.The folding bike is getting more comfort, an aluminium frame and collapsible handlebars. Individual styling and flexible design are added to its characteristic construction and to its accessories.

The latest revolution for Strida has become the Strida 5.0, created in March 2007. Where necessary, the folding bike has been adapted to the West-European market by using light-weight metal wheels and disc brakes. The Strida 5.0 will be launched on the 1st of Febuary in the Thailand.
