For The Fun
There is no comparison! The low center of gravity
and exquisite design make the Kickbike® riding
experience simple, unique and fun! People take to the
Kickbike® ride
like a duck takes to water. The Kickbike® allows
the rider to carve a line on the ground like a surfer
rides a wave. Because the ride is so smooth, you
can lay down a lot of miles, burn a lot of calories
and cover a lot of enjoyable territory. The fun,
the exercise and the transportation utility of the
Kickbike® is remarkable!
Kickbike® Commute
The use of human power to get us where we want
to go has many benefits - you keep fit, avoid
using the car
and public transport and do your bit for the
environment. Commuting on Kickbikes® is the
best!; you can wear your working clothes, just
walk out of the house or
elevator, step on and go. You can step off, walk
or stop and browse when you want; you feel free
on a Kickbike® in
a way that you don't on a bike. Choose your favorite
routes, avoid the traffic jams made up of people
or vehicles; Kickbikes® are light, clean
and easy to carry up or down steps. At about 5-8
minutes
per mile if you take it easy, quicker if you
can, a few miles journey becomes a pleasurable
trip.
Kickbikes® Ease
The lack of chains, gears and pedals means that
Kickbikes® are
not only easy and natural to use, but are
extremely reliable and very simple to maintain.
The absence of
greasy parts or protruding pedals and
derailleurs which have a tendency to snag
your clothing means that
you do not have to protect your clothes
or wear extra or special gear. You can
comfortably ride a Kickbike® in
a suit or dress around town without fear
of spoiling either. You can expect many
years of good service from
your Kickbike® with regular maintenance
and fewer moving parts. Most parts are
readily available at
your local bike shop, or online.
Kickbike® Fitness
Riding Kickbikes® is one of the most effective
ways to attain and maintain cardiovascular fitness
and general muscle tone. Using the Kickbike® is
a very enjoyable way to keep your body trim and get
around at the same time. Riding Kickbikes® uses
a large range of muscle groups in the
legs and buttocks, lower abdominals,
arms and shoulders
- even during
light exercise. You will find, because
the work is distributed over a large
number of
muscles, that
although you feel invigorated by the
exercise, you will rarely
have any specific aches or strains, unlike
cycling or running. There are also no
saddle injuries!
Kickbike® Cross Training
An increasing number of triathletes,
cyclists and runners use Kickbikes® as
a central part of their cross training
program. Kickbikes® are the best,
most flexible, low cost personal
training machines available.
High intensity training on Kickbikes® results
in excellent cardiovascular and aerobic
fitness and generates
muscle stamina in large groups of
muscles. Because of the very low
foot impact and
flexible riding position,
intensive workouts carry a very low
risk of sports injury. Kicking uses
similar
muscle
groups in the
legs and buttocks (calves, hamstrings
and glutes) to those
used in running; while the standing
leg uses similar muscles to cycling
(calves
and quads).
Legs are swapped
every 3-10 kicks depending on the
gradient and individual style. Lifting
the legs
forward during kicking works
lower abdominals and because you
can freely change position when riding,
it
keeps the lower
back open
and arms and shoulders in use all
the time. It is dynamic muscle training
of
the best kind.
You can
fit intensive
exercise sessions into short periods
of time to fit a diverse training
program and busy
schedule.
