I havent ride a bike for a decade, but halfbike 2 had attrack my attention on FB years ago. Until the HB3 campaign launched on kickstarter, I think I should go ahead this time. Received the HB3 early Aug, it wasnt as difficult to ride as I thought when I watch the youtube about HB2. Basically provided you've got a wide enough area you can ride it in straight line immediately. Still remembered the first time I ride it my whole body (specially my shoulder) was so sore because I need to keep my body in correct balance. The rear wheel steering is really one of a kind and is very nimble. You can make a U turn in a extreme small diameter; but of course it takes time for you to master the skills. I use it for my training (I hate doing workout in gym), I also like running thus by doing this alternatively I can keep myself busy. The only thing I can comment about it is that the handle bar is a bit too short, I bought the handle bar extender to further lengthen it by around an inch each side. It would be great if the weight can be reduced too.

Thanks for your awesome review :) Glad you were able to find an outdoor alternative to those pesky gyms ;)
