"You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to reap the benefits of water cycling...recreational water cyclists burn as many calories as skaters, kayakers, high-impact aerobic participants, even joggers."

"I have never written a testimonial before. This machine has made such a difference in my life that I am glad to share my experience publicly. It will be 2 years the first of June, since I have started riding my Hydrobike. I have logged over 1400 miles to date. It is part of my daily commute. I live on an island in Puget Sound and travel just about 2 miles one way. I ride year round which puts me in all kinds of weather and sea conditions. I am truly amazed at the stability of this small craft. I have taken on 3 foot swells and 30 mph gust of wind an still felt safe. I tell people that I have a life time guarantee on the motor....the "motor" gets a good aerobic workout and gets me to work. This allows me to spend my money in other ways besides health spas, outboard motors, oil and gas. I think this also helps preserve the quality of Puget Sound by not putting gas, oil, and noise into this vital body of water. Traveling at 3-5 mph I am able to enjoy the Sound in a way that I can not when I am in a motor boat traveling at 25-30 mph. There is an interaction of natural forces and energy that allows me to become a part of my surroundings. This little machine has also given me local identity...I am known as "that crazy guy that rides a bike on the water." It has become an icebreaker. I am not sure of the value of this because I am a fairly private person. However, in the field of social interaction, I do like that I am able to allow almost anyone willing to get on it a chance to ride it, in the age range of 7-70. With a motor boat it would not be practical to let just anyone take off with your boat. These are the reasons that I feel the Hydrobike has made a difference in my life."

"The purchase of two Explorer I Hydrobikes ranks among the best purchases that my wife and I ever made. We were motivated to purchase the Hydrobikes for the enjoyment of our grandchildren who had reached the age at which our paddle boat had become "boring". We have had the Hydrobikes for three years, and our grandchildren still can't wait to visit grandma and grandpa to ride these waterbikes. To our surprise, my wife and I have also found the Hydrobikes much more enjoyable to ride that a paddle boat. My wife was diagnosed as a borderline type II diabetic and I had quadruple heart bypass. To improve our health we both exercise regularly now and watch our diet. The Hydrobikes have provided us with many hours of healthy exercise and enjoyment. The Hydrobikes are also a big hit on our lake. We, and our grandchildren, have met many new friends on our Hydrobike rides."

"For the past 27 years we have been living and providing a foster home for four individuals with mental and physical disabilities. Recently we discovered the wonders and joys of Hydrobikes and it has been exciting to watch our foster family enjoying these watercraft. One gentleman who is legally blind has been able to finally "ride a bike"...something he has always wanted to do but was unable due to the barriers of limited sight. He gets on a Hydrobike and smiles from ear to ear. He follows Bill by listening to his voice. He described it to us as "freedom". Another of our foster family described it as "floating on the water". Whenever we bring them to our cabin we all go waterbiking and there is a feeling of independence and awe of nature that is so inspiring to see. We are grateful to have the ability to provide this experience to people who have discovered many barriers and hardships in their lives."

"We recently purchased a couple of Hydrobikes for the purpose of exercise. We built on a 50 acre lake and the bikes fit our needs perfectly. For twenty years I ran and biked in local race events until I developed serious knee problems. Doctor's suggested I give up the running and as I spent more time riding bikes on the city streets I became wary after some very close calls with vehicles and chasing dogs. That's when I started looking into some type of water exercise and discovered the Hydrobike. My Hydrobike has become a great means of fitness along with fun and it is so safe. I see more of my 4 grandchildren and their friends as we share the fun the Hydrobikes bring to us."

"I am 54 years old and my wife is 53; we ride our Hydrobikes every chance we get. We enjoy cruising side-by-side talking and looking at the wildlife. We are both constantly amazed at how easy the bikes are to pedal and at the small amount of effort it takes to really move us over the water. Several more great features are the remarkable stability and sheer ease of take down for storage. My wife is really afraid of most boats, but she says she feels completely safe on the bike because of its stability in the water. The hand knobs with stainless steel bolts make it so easy to take the bike apart....no tools are necessary. I would highly recommend the Hydrobike to anyone who wants a great personal watercraft to enjoy and get and excellent benefit in the process."

"These bikes are very much like riding a mountain bike or road bike, without the fear of getting run over by a car. Cruising past canoes and kayaks while hardly working gives a clear indication at just how efficient the Hydrobike is to pedal. It is also great to be able to stand and stretch, which is difficult to do in a kayak or canoe."
