Strida LT Folding Bike

Product Description

The first completely new bicycle geometry in 95 years. Inside a triangular frame of lightweight aluminum, power is transferred to the rear wheel via a silent clean Kevlar belt. Handlebars are mounted horizontally so the rider can sit comfortably upright with an excellent view of the road. The genius of the triangular frame is that it can quickly fold. In five seconds, you have a light, compact form that you can easily wheel, stow in a closet, load in your car or take on the train.

Amazon.com Product Description
Developed in the U.K. as an elegant transportation alternative, the Strida LT folding bike is a clean, compact, and effortless mode of urban and leisure transport. The most striking feature of the Strida LT is its unique triangular frame, which puts the rider in a comfortable upright riding position with superb visibility. In addition, the bike has no oily chain or funky gears to worry about, instead using a Kevlar greaseless belt drive system that gets you where you need to go without griming up your pants. And when you've reached your destination, the bike folds up in five seconds flat, with no complex sequences or frustrating procedures to follow. You don't even need to bend down, as the magnets will do all the work for you. Offering the smallest footprint of any full-sized folding bike, the Strida LT rolls easily along the ground when folded, so you don't need to do any heavy lifting.
The secret to the bike's small folded size is its short wheelbase. In bike mode, the wheelbase takes up much less size than traditional bikes, making you a favorite of pedestrians. In folded mode, however, the bike takes up next to no space, so you can easily store it in a corner or closet. Finally, the Strida LT comes with a rear luggage rack that turns into a convenient carrying stand when folded.

The Kinetic Road Machine is the most popular trainer Kinetic makes and has become the company's go-to model for indoor workouts. The perfect workout partner for sprints to intervals to all-day cruising, the Road Machine is quiet, smooth, and, like every Kinetic Trainer, it's 100 percent leak-proof. The power calibration gives you true outdoor simulation while the automatic resistance adjusts as you change speeds.

When the rear wheel spins on a fluid trainer, an impeller rotates through liquid to create resistance. Since hydrodynamics and aerodynamics have similar properties, this resistance automatically increases with speed. The result is a smoother, quieter, more road-like experience. This is critical for any indoor cyclist, for the faster you pedal the harder the workload gets, just like an outdoor ride. Trainers with automatically adjusting workloads enable any rider to accurately measure their progress because the workloads are repeatable from day to day.
Why Kinetic?

• Leak-proof Performance
  Kinetic offers the smoothest, quietest, road-like resistance, and 100 percent leakproof performance. Rather than using leak prone technology, like a drive shaft that penetrates the fluid chamber and depends on O rings and traditional seals, each Kinetic Fluid Trainer features a patented magnetic drive system. By using neodymium magnets to link the drive system together, the dependence on a physical drive shaft entering the fluid chamber is entirely eliminated--which means no need for O rings or seals that will eventually wear out and leak.
• Biggest Flywheel
  Kinetic Fluid Trainers are equipped with the heaviest flywheels available, ranging from a solid 4.4 pounds to a massive 18 pounds. The result is an ultra smooth, road-like ride without altering the force curve. So every acceleration and coast down delivers the experience of riding outdoors.
• Stability
  With the trapezoidal leg design and the largest footprint of any trainer, Kinetic Fluid Trainers keep power and motion focused on the flywheel. So even during hard, out-of-the-saddle pedaling, the ride remains rock steady.
• Works with Specialy Bikes
  Kinetic is the only trainer approved for use with tandems. Kinetic Trainers are also fully compatible with wheels measuring 16 to 29 inches (outside diameter), including bikes with flip-off skewers, breezer drops-outs, and nutted axles on track and BMX styling.
• Low Operating Temperature
  According to the laws of physics, energy is never lost or gained, but simply changes form. In the case of a fluid trainer, the energy of the spinning impeller inside the fluid chamber is converted into heat. Kinetic Fluid Trainers have been designed with 80 cast aluminum cooling fins to dissipate heat and provide the lowest operating temperature of any trainer.
• Thermodynamically Neutral
  Unlike other fluid trainers that lose resistance when the fluid is heated up, Kinetic Fluid Trainers use thermodynamically neutral liquid silicon to ensure a consistent, measurable and repeatable workload at all temperatures.

Features:

• Measurable and repeatable workload
• Compatible with Pro Flywheel
• Wattage calibrated resistance unit
• Sealed fluid chamber with magnetically coupled driveshaft
• Thermodynamically neutral silicone resistance fluid

About Mongoose
In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty, one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal--the mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame.
The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after, Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title. Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles, leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain bicycles (ATBs).

In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15% stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive look.

In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100 million impressions. Mongoose’s brand awareness increased by over 130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX, mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross bikes.
