It seems like Kickbiking is getting a lot more attention, especially in the press lately. This week there’s a great article by Marc Silver in US News & World Report:
A Habit to Kick
Up ahead is a bevy of boys on bicycles. Me, I'm on my new kick bike--handlebars, hand brakes, and big wheel in front, but no pedals, no seat, an aluminum deck for standing, and a wee back wheel. One foot is on the deck. The other is kicking backwards. Did I mention there's a basket? And that I'm wearing a helmet for safety's sake? Feeling like a junior high nerd, I steel myself for hoots of derision.
Instead, I hear: "Cool scooter."
"Awesome."
"I want one."
