Okay---it was really a division within the Utah Marathon, but it counts. We had ten kickers and Gary Schmitt knocking some time off of his fastest marathon. In Europe and Australia, a footbike race is made up of a criterium, sprint, relay, and marathon event spread over three days.

A Diggler--not really but nice try! If you jump on this with an athletic backround then we caution you to take it easy-----think 6 mile loops, think home in time to keep the family balanced, think becoming a stronger rider.

A scooter—sometimes? A Diggler–not really but nice try! If you jump on this with an athletic backround then we caution you to take it easy—–think 6 mile loops, think home in time to keep the family balanced, think becoming a stronger rider.

Think Footbike!

I never knew that sport existed and it's just funny to see finely tuned athletes on a hyped up razor scooter. Oh man, sorry for laughing but thanks for the link to the kickbike Randy.

That's 204 miles on one and he made it to Portland in the middle of the pack of 10,000 riders. Also... what's wrong with socks and sandles?! Keeps you warm, but lets a little air in. I think it's a perfect combo! I saw a guy ride one of these in Seattle to Portland in 2006. That’s 204 miles on one and he made it to Portland in the middle of the pack of 10,000 riders.
