Talking with Diann Valdez About Her StreetStrider Bike at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

While sitting at a table near Vendor's Row at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, Eric, Dave, Kathy and I saw an interesting bike.






A bike with two wheels
in the front...

It's an elliptical

bicycle.

The StreetStrider Bikes
get a lot of attention.

I have to ask some
questions about them.





Diann tells me that the front handlebars can be laid flat on top of the rest of the bike for easy transporting.  She and John load them in the back of their truck when they go for a ride.  There is an attachment to lift the back wheel off the ground, turning the StreetStrider into a stationary elliptical for indoor use.

People regularly stop the Valdezes and ask them questions about their StreetStriders.  So much so that John became a company representative.

John and Diann can walk around the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta grounds with their bikes, but they can't ride them.  That's OK.  They are having lots of conversations as they walk along Vendor's Row.  Surely, John will sell some bikes while he is here at the Fiesta..
