The GlideCycle was not originally designed to help amputees run. It was actually designed to help athletes and fitness enthusiasts run again and get a challenging aerobic workout without the painful impact of running. With that being said, it is incredible and heartwarming to see an amputee and many others with mobility limitations experience the joy and freedom of running as well. The GlideCycle has enabled me and many others to run at high speeds, climb hills and mountain roads, run trails and beaches, run long distances and build top level speed and aerobic fitness. If I would have had this invention at least 10-15 years ago for cross training, I might have avoided losing the ability to run without pain. This invention has turned people into fast runners, allowed people to complete marathons in less than 3 hours and has helped boomers complete a mile in around 5 minutes. It may not be a lazy boy recliner, but it is comfortable enough to run on for my regular 1-3 hour runs.
I am going to have to look into this. I have had problems with my knees since High School. I avoid running now, because of the pain. It looks kind of big. How do you transport it places?
