Strange Bicycle / scooter hybrid thing

[FunkyUK]

Saw this at lunchtime.

A step padle thing instead of conventional pedals on a crank, no seat. Looks like fun... What is it? where can I have a go?

IMO it should also have the handles changed for waggly x-trainer handlesticks.

You could change direction with an electronic eye-reader, like the ones they installed in US military fighter pilot helmets.

Obv. this would cause carnage if you were prone to looking at crumpet whilst cycling. Cross-trainer-induced crumpet mortality rates would rocket.

Well it would appear to resemble a cross trainer...which are very good so...

That sounds like the worst idea, since bottling myself to prove to Becky Sampson that I loved her. Then throwing up on her dad's crazy paving, and crying.

Exactly. What's the point?

Why not just walk up a hill or two?
