From the New York Times
"A medical student in Helsinki invented Kickbikes in 1993 by modifying
a scooter with a bike-size front wheel, a wide foot bed that makes it easy
to switch legs in midcourse and hand brakes. In the last few years Kickbikes
have become a favorite of some (ultra-) marathoners and other racers in
the United States who appreciate how these grown-up scooters work their
legs but leave them less sore than high-impact exercise."
