Got it picked up in about 20 minutes trying to ride on ice, then spent another 20 minutes learning the balance, moving hands around on the bars, shifting, putting down power and moving around in the saddle. I got the hang of it, next time I will try an actual workout on them.
Ha. I can't believe they still make those things.
I used them more than 35 years ago! Never could get the hang of them. I had to set them up in a doorway, so if I veered to one side, I could keep from crashing by pushing off the door jam with my elbow.
My buddy wasn't so lucky. He had a poster of Eddy Merckx on his wall. One day he was leaning far to one side... trying to see if his legs looked like Eddie's... and he lost his balance and crashed. (Hey, we were 16, okay?) We never let him live it down.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
