Getting the hang of the Halfbike takes quite a bit of effort at first — you really have to be persistent, but once you get past that initial stage, it becomes great fun! I’m a runner, but I have to say that riding the Halfbike requires a fair amount of physical effort. Don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just a kind of bike for leisurely rides while whistling — it’s definitely a workout! This thing turns heads, so you should plan a little extra time for your sessions— you’ll end up chatting with all the curious onlookers. It’s really nice. That said, I don’t feel comfortable riding the Halfbike on wet roads, so I’ll soon be putting it away for the winter. I just hope I won’t have forgotten everything by spring! I definitely recommend it — but keep in mind that despite its cute little bike/skateboard look, it’s a real piece of sports equipment.
