    For those wanting a stand up/running motion on wheels, I know a number of folks with an Elliptigo They seem like they'd be able to handle different terrain/elevation than the half bike. (but they are a bit pricey)

        Let’s take a design that has withstood 200 years of use and make it worse

        I was only joking

          I have never seen either of those types of bikes. They look interesting.

            How do you break with those things? Wouldn't a hard break throw you off?

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                Looks like you can get similar exercise benefits by riding a regular bicycle standing. :man-shrugging:

                  Man tough crowd. I didn’t say a thing about exercise benefits and I wouldn’t trade my road bike for it.

                  Just that it would be fun to take it for a spin down lake shore drive and back some crisp afternoon.

                  Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                    It would. I liked the way it leaned.

                      Funnily enough I just saw one in use near London. My son said ‘what was that stupid looking thing?’
