Meet the Main GlideCycle Team

David Vidmar, President and CEO, Aldavida Inc.David Vidmar GlideCycle

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.”

I went to meet the GlideCycle™ staff to find out what their product might be able to do for my patients... Within a short time, it became clear that the GlideCycle™ was truly changing lives...

Jan

The GlideCycle™ changed my life, and helped to transform me into an athlete.  I was struggling with an extra 50 pounds for years after a foot surgery.    GlideCycle Running was the key.  It is a new sport, and it takes due diligence to learn, but the results are wonderful.

Sincerely, Joy Houssney

I LOVE to go out and glide. I live on a flat road with two very steep hills on either side and run almost 1 1/2 miles.    Sometimes I go too fast, but my family walks with me and I go to the end and come back to them.  FUN! FUN! FUN!  I want one for over my treadmill for frozen winters and hot summers!

Mary Margaret

After only using the GlideCycle™ three times I noticed how much better I felt. I usually have to struggle to push myself out of a chair to stand, but now I can just stand right up! After only a month of using my new GlideCycle™ I was up to running 3/4 of a mile 4 times a week and now only a few weeks later I'm running 2 miles at a time! My life has changed.

Holly Rush

Something wonderful has happened to me. Little did I know that David and his GlideCycle™ would drastically change my life... To date, I have lost 32 pounds and I am in the picture of health...

Every sports team in the world needs these.  I would still be playing football today if I had one 5 years ago.  I mean it!

Mark and Angie

We ran 17 miles with our GlideCycles™ in a recent race.  We just became sales reps in Portland, Oregon!  Awesome couples play!!!
