I started my weekend shortly after finishing my air shift this morning, by riding for the very first time a "Glide Cycle". I was taught how to ride by the inventor of the Glide Cycle, David Vidmar.
Here's some official info on this amazing equipment:

What Makes Glide Cycle Unique?
Our Problem is Gravity
Over 50 million Americans go running each year and 116 million more folks walk outdoors for fitness. Each year up to 70% of these runners will experience an injury needing rehabilitation. 1.5 million of them and countless walkers will quit and head for the gym or the couch for good. Gravity is the root cause, as so many runners and walkers simply can’t bear the pounding of 2.4 to 4 times their weight in Ground Reaction Force. (BYU Study)
Solution: Weightless Running Revolution
A Brigham Young University sports research study found that, “runners using the GlideCycle experienced an 86% reduction in ground reaction force (GRF).” Our patented suspension system lifts the body by cradling the pelvis (no crotch pressure) into the natural spring arch frame and allows clients to achieve a closer motion to actual running or walking than any other equipment on earth. Running with wheels means running fast, far, and as hard as you want without impact pain.
It's wasn't difficult to learn, and I'm going back to ride some more...it is great for exercise and FUN to ride!
