    I rode one at Performance a few months ago. It was fun but personally I'd rather ride. It was a workout, tho. Turning wasn't really hard, it does freewheel. For me stopping was kinda scary.

    I saw a guy riding one in the Tour of the Tucson Mountains. He was on the 70-mile start, I dont know if he finished or not. That's one tough dude.

    I think it would be great fun in Florida, where it is dead flat. Other that that, I agree...too difficult to control, stop, and scary to descend. I bet it would be a real hit in a retirement community down in Fla., though. Can you imagine the reactions you'd get?!

    I saw someone on one in the park a month or two ago. Seemed strange to me.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I saw one in use yesterday in my area, I guess their target market are runners who can't handle the impact any more but still want to run outside??? I don't see this product being around too long but who can say? At least it gets them outside.
