Eliptigo GO!

Check out this funky looking.....bike?!?  What is this you ask??  It is called an Eliptigo.  Runner's Flat, on Main St. in Cedar Falls allows you to rent an Eliptigo for a whole day!!  For a low price of just $20 (plus tax), you can take this baby out on a stroll around town!  You of course do not have to go on a whole day excursion to rent these!!  Runner's Flat has 4 different Eliptigos to rent.  You can call ahead and reserve them to ensure your rental at your specific time/date.  Otherwise, rentals are based on a first come first serve basis.  

My friend and I rented 2 Eliptigos last week.  We had SO MUCH FUN!! Runner's Flat is at a convenient location in which you can hop right on the bike trails out behind the shop.  We ended up riding for 3 hours!! Time flew by!  You definitely have to get used to riding the Eliptigo.  Once you get used to it, it is quite comparable to riding a bike.  It's all about balancing your center of gravity.  You do have to take turns a little bit wider.  Also, make sure to keep both hands on the handlebars at all times while in motion.  After a little bit of practice, you get going so fast that you kind of forget that you are even standing!  I absolutely recommend giving the Eliptigo a try!
