1. I would'nt do it, maybe for older people who enjoy running, but they would look really stupid. I say anybody who is fit enough (or that has joint problems) to run should be able to ride a bike which is without a question better.

2. I know I have seen you before on Yahoo Awnsers, and from what I have read you seem to know a lot about bikes. You look new, so welcome to Bike Fourms

Intended as a substitute for running, not cycling (because some aging or chronically injured runners will always badly want want to 'run', vs any other activity). The superficial shape and name are misleading.

Basically, a 2-wheeled version of a RaceRunner. RaceRunners look a bit like trikes, but are actually running frames for athletes with disability (and yes, there are RaceRunner competition events, complete with World Records). https://racerunning.org
