David Vidmar, President and CEO, Aldavida Inc.

David Vidmar is the visionary and founder and CEO of Aldavida Inc., holding the GlideCycle and GlideTrak divisions.  Here is his message:

“Hi, I’m Dave Vidmar and I invented the GlideCycle because, like so many people, my legs and knees can really hurt when I run too often or too far. I began dreaming at night of running without pain again, as fast and as far as I could imagine.  After an amazing  experience running weightless while holding onto a banana transport basket hanging from a zip line in Central America, it hit me – what if I could recreate that weightless running experience with wheels?

Well, after several years of challenging design evolution, I did.  I personally run 10 to 15 miles almost every day on this amazing breakthrough in weightless running technology we call, “GlideCycle.” I’ve logged more than 12,000 miles of weightless pain-free running on beaches, bike lanes and mountain trails with friends.

Now, the GlideCycle takes weightless running to the beautiful outdoors for everyone. Our website is filled with videos showing people of every age, size and ability, hitting new fitness goals and having fun on their GlideCycles. Their success is the reason we are committed to bringing GlideCycle Weightless Running to everybody.  Join us and join the Weightless Running Revolution with your own GlideCycle.”
