1. Cool. No more sore butt bones.

On the other hand, you look ridiculous.

3. I have a nice, wide, cushiony seat for my bike.

I had to buy it aftermarket, but it's worth it.

2. I knew I'd seen this before

4. The whole reason I have a treadmill is

that in the winter it's too cold and wet to go outside. When it's warm and dry why not just walk?

It's a cute novelty, but it seems utterly pointless to me.

5. I get the point.

I have a 12 mile commute each way to work. I do it on a bike but if there was a reason a bike wouldn't work for me, something like this would make the commute doable. Walking that distance without an assist of some sort (mechanical or electric) would be a major obstacle.

6. It has more speed than walking... So if you have a lot of ground to cover, and you don't like

biking, you can walk and get their as fast.

9. Good points.

I guess it makes sense as transportation, but not as a form of exercise. I wasn't really thinking of it as transportation.

10. Where do you live? I run outside all year in Wisconsin. Just not today

(heavy thunderstorms)

11. Oregon.

My problem is my lungs are extremely sensitive to cold air, and being 70 years old, I prefer walking on the treadmill where the warm air from the register blows right on me while I walk. In the summer I walk outside, though, which is much more enjoyable than indoor walking, I must admit. (Somebody should make a Youtube video of "A Walk in the Park" for people to watch while they walk on the treadmill. hehe)

12. I'm 34, not as sensitive to cold, and I fall off treadmills

too much of a space cadet

7. Cool!

8. How is it on hills?

It looks heavy, and pushing that monster up a hill will complete your cardio workout.
