British designer Mark Sanders has unveiled a new foldable bicycle called Strida 5.0. Previous versions of Strida collapsible bikes have been rolling in Europe for over 16 years but, for the first time, Strida 5.0 is now available in the U.S.

Strida was designed primarily for those commuters whose storage space might be limited. When folded, Strida can be easily moved on and off buses and trains since it incorporates parallel wheels which allow users to push it effortlessly.

Strida: The first completely new bicycle geometry in 95 years. Inside a triangular frame of lightweight aluminum, power is transferred to the rear wheels 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 fold. In six seconds, you have a light, compact form that you can easily wheel before you, stow in a closet, load in your car or take on the train. With no external grease or oil to soil your clothes, Strida makes daily commuting fun and practical. Now, instead of being snarled up in traffic, you can ride wherever you want, then fold up your transport and take it with you. [Strida]

Moreover, with only 19.4 lbs (9 kg) the light bike produces a stable and smooth ride as well. Strida can be bought in the US through Areaware for $799.
