Answer for Going up steep hills is that hard to do with this product

Can you ride the GlideCycle uphill or up a really long, steep mountain climb?
Yes you can! When the rider shifts the saddle into the climb position. You will be slower than a bike — sometimes a crawl, depending on your fitness level. But, nothing stops a GlideCycle.
Going uphill does require proper technique, a little practice and like any exercise, more effort for hills (gravity is never free). The basic approach for short hills is to lean forward in the seat, while extending your legs back and pushing off with your toes in a driving motion. For longer hills loosen the lower front strap completely allowing you to rock forward in the seat and resting your chest on the front strap. Your arms also help to support your weight. In this position you can climb longer hills. If your fitness level is really low, you can always simply stand up in the seat and walk up the hill. With a little practice and as you get into shape you can go anywhere you want. Athletic riders will find it possible to glide up any mountain. Even climb the Rocky Mountains, for miles and miles and monster workouts.

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...

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!

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.

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!!!
