Fitness
and Fun with a capital F! If you haven't yet experienced
kickbiking (and at the moment that's probably most of you...)
then get yourself over to the gym to have a go on mine!
I have two kickbikes, one road version, (pictured left)
complete with 'shopping basket' (which the chaps take exception
to, but
where I
put my diary, keys, mobile phone, lipstick etc when I'm
kickbiking from home to the gym and back... very useful)
and one cross country version (pictured right).
This is my favourite, with it's knobbly tyres, disc brakes,
and
go
- anywhere
character.
I even experienced one of the greatest thrills of my life
(and I'm not that sad that I don't have thrills ordinarily)
when in the 70mph gales in Leicestershire, I was
propelled along a field, with no kicking required at a
speed I can only guess at, but which felt like flying to
me!
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, think so much
more than just what various gym members have dubbed them... "Grown
up scooters" "Fancy penny farthings", but
better still, go to the excellent website, kickbike.biz.
Kickbike Events
We are hoping to get world champion kickbiking Dutchman
to do some long distance kickbiking soon to raise the profile.
He recently completed the Paris Brest cycle race in 85
hours!
On the weekend of 24/25 September, there will
be kickbike racing along the seafront at Swansea, coinciding
with the
Swansea road running races. I will be there, together with
a host of the best kickbikers in Europe.
