New Folding bicycle Owners ! Say Hi and Introduce Yourself

[slimjim]

Hi folks! I just placed an order for a Strida 5 Sport yesterday. Hope to meet you all for the coming runway cycling 2007, provided the shipment arrive before the event. 

Here's a little intro of myself. I've been cycling for the last 20 years or more, mainly on road bikes. Don't you think Strida is a fun bike? Don't say serious riders won't lay their eyes on Strida, I'm one who fall in love in it after looking at the pictures Baru send to me recently.

After I collect my bike, I intend to use it to for leisure rides around the island, as well as the NTU endurance 127km ride together with Steven. Anyone wanna come along? Come'on join us...the more the merrier. Awcute will join too but for only 5km ....haha! That's what you told me yesterday right?

See you all soon....chao!

I took my new yellow strida out for a short ride today!

Not quite used to it as the handle is kinda 'loose' as compared to normal mountain bikes. However, the ride was smoother than I thought (on flat land) and it can actually go quite fast! I went slow for small small kerbs (those like maybe less than 5cm high)...partly not sure how well can the strida take such impact...partly i don't wanna 'tekan' such an expensive bike..hahaha...

   My friend smsed me to say she spotted a Yellow Strida in town today, was it you?

Dun worry, the Strida can go up kerbs, the senior Strida Riders will tell you that.  You must join us at the SAFRA Runway Cycling event to meet the rest! 

[miloboi]

i hope i won't get stopped trying to board the train between 8.45am to 9am. worse come to worse i wait until after 9 and reach office a little bit later.

[davidtch]

Harros, if you want to your Strida to be a chick magnet, better call it "cooljim" la. 

[slimjim]

Thanks for your advise.....then I shall stick to "CoolJim"

awcute might want to consider this... left picture... bumble bee. See the yellow and grey... matching colours...
miloboi might like to use the latest bumble bee (movie) on the right.

[Kayatoast]

Actually very near... about 5mins ride.. but some exercise is better than no exercise!

[davidtch]
