Seems like a good alternative to bikes
Low impact enough? I'm checking other sources that say, you can easily cruise 20 mph on it. Same speed as bike but much lighter and much simpler and may take you faster on climbs.

The movement and color would attract dogs from miles away.

I don't ride my bicycle because there is not a "good alternative". I do it because I like it.

I remember watching this on 1 of those invention shows. The would be investors were concerned with the learning curves and potential injury from that height. They passed on this but I think he finally brought it to production but wasn't that well received.

I will stick with my bike, I like riding my bike, That looks like a good way to fall while walking. I can do that without increasing the altitude.

Just what we need, one more thing chasing us around and trying to knock us off our bikes.

He'd have to get sprung first. Not eligible for parole until next year.

Those things look about as comfortable to wear as ski boots and they certainly don't look simple. I don't see it as an alternative to cycling but to each his own.
