The Bike Geek

From time to time we get a product to test that turns a lot of heads when I ride them, the Footbike Track is definitely one of them.

Specs:

Although you can compete with this fine machine, I mostly used it for recreational and training purposes. Nothing gets your heartbeat really pumping than riding a Footbike.

Thumbs Up: The Footbike Track is fast and light and you can really hug some corners with it. The stopping power of the brakes was more than adequate and the adjustability of the stem enables all sorts of riders the use of the Footbike.

The use of standard bike components is a major plus since you can buy tires, rims, headsets, handlebars and grips from your favorite LBS, just in case the upgrade bug hits you.

Thumbs Down:The Track model is the high performance model of the Footbike line, the handling is very quick and sometimes it can be a handful on fast descents.

Also, the clearance is very low, I found myself scraping some of the imperfections of the sidewalk.

Recommendation:I’ve enjoyed the use of the Footbike Track when I wanted to do some cross training or when I rode around with my family at the park. If you are looking for something different that will test some of your handling skills and give you a different workout, the Footbike Track is it, but if you want something more nimble, check out the Footbike Street or the Footbike trail instead.
