There’s an excellent, if brief, article on the Kickbike in the April 28th edition of the New York Times. It’s great to see that kickbiking is finally getting some media coverage in the US and internationally.
“The Kickbike is a strange-looking contraption that actually makes a lot of sense. A medical student in Helsinki invented Kickbikes in 1993 by modifying a scooter with a bike-size front wheel, a wide foot bed that makes it easy to switch legs in midcourse and hand brakes. In the last few years Kickbikes have become a favorite of some (ultra-) marathoners and other racers in the United States who appreciate how these grown-up scooters work their legs but leave them less sore than high-impact exercise.”
