I saw my first one of these today.

Kind of wierd and a little bit sketchy on a fast downhill

That looks pretty cool. You can freewheel down a hill and you can use it in a suit attire and not worry about mucking up your slacks in the chain. It also looks like with a bit of adjustment one size fits all.

Thanks for sharing the link!

I've probably mentioned this here before, but I first saw an Elliptigo (two of them, actually) on the Markleeville Death Ride in 2010.

Only thing more amazing than watching someone climb five mountain passes on one of those gizmos is watching them descend and not get killed. I gave them a wide berth.

No downhilll is particularly fast with such a high CdA.

Just a random fact: Elliptigo World Championships is a drag race up Palomar. 2012 winner was around 70min. Horner's best (according to Strava) is 49:51, so they're cruising at a damn good clip up.

I have an elliptical trainer and love it. This has me very interested. I found this blog (http://elliptigomyfirst3weeks.blogspot.com/) online detailing someone's first 3 weeks with their ElliptiGO.

I remember reading something a while back about an elite runner that does a lot of training on one of these to save her knees.

If Phil Dunphy approves, then it's good enough for me.

There is a woman that we see from time to time that uses hers with UGGS. I can't even begin to imagine how horrible they smell.
