I´m trying one of these contraptions this afternoon... has anybody tried it?

 

(how happy these two look!)

no I haven't tried one look interesting thiough   have fun be safe ok

Kind of made for the little bus crowd. Suprised jimmy didn't see one before

Bet mq gets on and says he owns two

Looks like pretty good exorcise, I'd like to hear how you get on ;)

I'm guessing that requires more coordination than I have....

 

Let us know....

OK.

 

I tried one just like those in the pic. ElliptiGO! They had to shorten the handlebar, as I´m just 1.60cm. The rest of the bike is the same for everybody.

 

Very good.

 

The only coordination required was to actually get on and start going. When I tried it I was hungover so I blame it on that :wacko:

 

Once you go... you GO!. Super-fun. No impact, easy exercise (or exorcise indeed). You are looking at where you are going so you kind-of forget you are "riding an elliptical", which is exactly what it is. Easy to maneouvre, just like a "normal" bike.

 

The only "con" is that you have to stay on the road (or the promenade in my case), no off road or rough terrain. You need to have a good network of safe paved roads around your house to be able to enjoy one of these. They do go fast.

 

When I jumped down, and until today (that was Tuesday), my legs wobbled, and my thighs are sore. But... it is an elliptical!

 

100% recommend you try it if you resent the "torture" bit of the elliptical torture machine. This is so fun that you don´t realise you are working out.

 

:good:
