"Just like any form of exercise, I can make a Kickbike as fun or as serious as I want. I think it's pretty clear that a scooter like this can be a lot of fun. It can also be a very strenuous workout, leaving me very tired but not sore like running would do. I love the way it makes me feel and I love the fun of zooming down the downhills also. It's so maneuverable that I feel like I'm dancing on one foot, switching feet easily and just pushing as hard as I want and crouching on the downhills to go as fast as I want. I have some favorite routes that I do. One in particular starts at my house and heads out towards the water here in Annapolis, Maryland. I'll do a 3.5 mile loop as many times as I feel like and then head on home. Yesterday I did 16 miles and it took me 1:10, 4:22 per mile. I have done 30 miles in 4:09 per mile range.I have a small car, but I can easily pop off the quick release front wheel and place the clean, non-greasy Kickbike inside my car. So I didn't have to buy a bike rack for the outside of my car. Last weekend I drove it out to the airport and did 26.2 miles on a windy day over a hilly loop around BWI Airport. That was pretty challenging; I only averaged 4:47 per mile, partly because some fellow distance running friends of mine were running 22 miles around the loop. I just started well after them, giving myself the challenge of catching them by the end of the first 10.5 mile loop. It was windy and hilly, and I was working hard! I took a little break after the first loop to refuel and chat with a friend in the Philippines, then caught up to them again about 3 miles into the second loop. I took it kind of easy then, but I'd throw in some fartlek one milers, going ahead one mile and then coming back to them. So I got in 26.2 miles in 2:12. Pretty efficient use of time, because I would have had to been out there much longer on a bicycle for the equivalent.1 mile on a Kickbike is about equivalent to 1 kilometer of running I figure. So I just use that conversion to calculate into running miles. I mean, a solid one hour or two hours of cardio with the extra strength involved in a Kickbike is a really great workout. I also get a much greater range of motion compared to either running or bicycling. Of course for the Kickbike to translate into running I do some drills and do trail running to meet the same turnover left right left right of running. And I'm a pretty fast runner, doing 5K in the 16:30 range and one mile in the low 4:40s at age 52.I personally enjoy opening up people's eyes and inspiring them. Kickbike is a really fun and easy way to do that. People can get jaded by the world and bored with their workout routines. I enjoy being that person who shows someone one more way to have fun and stay in shape. If your're that kind of person then I think you'd really enjoy a Kickbike.Happy New Year from Annapolis, Maryland!Jim"
