The Adventures of Pedal-Paddle
September 2003

I sailed a Pedal-Paddle!! What a rush!! We put a sail receiver out in front of the handle bars, twin keel receivers on the inside of our ‘grande’ pontoons and a brace across the back attached to a single rudder and wow!...a sailing bicycle. We’ve tweaked and adjusted and the result is a bicycle that you can ride down to the water, set up in minutes, and sail into the sunset. If the |

wind stops, you just roll up the sail slip into the triangle pontoon feet and paddle home. I’ve been an avid sailor for many years and have sailed everything from a four bedroom yacht to a number of small 1 and 2 man sailboats and believe it or not, Pedal-Paddle is the best little sailboat I’ve ever sailed! With its 8’ ‘grande’ pontoons and 6’ wide stance in the water, it’s super stable. I’ve played on it a number of times now and even sailed it in 2 to 3 foot waves in 30mph winds! What a rush! At one point I had one foot on each pontoon standing right over the back tire. This kept the nose up in the big waves and it was like riding horses in the circus as it galloped through the waves. A ride I will never forget.
We took Pedal-Paddle to Las Vegas to the Inter-Bike International Bicycle Show. It was great! As a result several bicycle dealers are now carrying Pedal-Paddle in their showrooms. Pedal-Paddle was the busiest little booth at the show and we made great connections. Did you know you can be a Pedal-Paddle dealer for your area by just buying two Pedal-Paddles at wholesale price? We give you a 10 zip code exclusive area which should easily cover your favorite lake and you will be the dealer! Until next time. God Bless, |
