[letter from an architect to strida-designer mark sanders, february, 2006]
Hi Mark,
I LOVE my Strida. It's a bloody great design.
I live in Oxford, which is a bicycle-city. I am constantly being stopped and asked about the bike. It's a wonder Strida doesn't advertise much, I am sure it would sell many more units in places like Cambridge and Oxford. I've had so many mountain bikes stolen I've lost count. I've taken my Strida into pubs, nightclubs, restaurants... no worries. Also as I work in London it comes with me on the bus/train/tube. Last year with the bombings, it was the only way to get about. Occasionally I'd get someone yell out 'Strida! Cool!"
