Ever tried this contraption?

We are thinking about renting this for our upcoming camping trip. We have only seen the video about it and we don't know if it is as easy as it looks. Anyone ever use this thing?

As weird as it sounds, I saw a kid last week on a bicycle that worked the same way this gadget of yours does. He was hopping up and down on what looked like a big scooter with oversized tires, but I could see gears turning, and he was FLYING down the road.

So if your water bike works the same way, it might work. But it seems like you'd have to be pumping it pretty fast to keep from sinking.

Let us know whether it works for you. I'm really curious now.

There was a story on the local news some time back. It does work, but the news person's comment was that you get quite a workout riding it.
