    I've seen one or two around. Probably on a cycling event somewhere. Very interesting!

    There is one at my LBS and it's HUGE. It looks interesting but l can't imagine it being very versatile or easy to transport.

    I saw on at the summit of Cottonwood Pass in Colorado. I was blown away that he could do such a big climb on that thing!

    My LBS has one, I rode it and it was fun but isn't something I would spend money on. For one thing they are pretty pricey if I remember correctly. They are a bit awkward to steer, I remember it being scary to stop and they are huge. For me I am pretty sure the the novelty would wear off really fast.

    don't know that I would buy one, but they look very cool- and very good at mimicking running without the pounding.
    Descents are scary on my normal bike- I don't know that I would like them on that...but then again... maybe I would. If I ever see one- I'm going to beg for a test ride.

    I saw three of them on the STP a couple of years ago. Looked like they were promoting them, but they made it look like a LOT of fun. They seemed to float past me on the longview bridge and quickly climbed out of view. The next year, there was a guy riding one on the Cascade Training Series rides in the yellow group (12-14 mph average) but I didn't see him after the first three rides--after the rides started getting really hilly. I think those three people were super fit "ringers"--intended to make the elliptigo look effortless and fun.
