Add Kickbike / Footbike

[IRvanderveen]

Hello,

I would kindly request to ad the sport: "kickbiking"

The activity level of this sport is somewhere in between running and cycling and right now it is very hard to use data from a training because I'm forced the use a different 'sport type'.

Kickbiking is a sport with a huge community all over the world and even has it own championships.

I speak for many when I say: 

"Please, ad 'kickbiking' as a sport type"

Kind regards, 

Ilse van der Veen

(Check out this very cool looking kickbike!)

Yes, add kick-bike as a sport. It feels strange asking for this - it should have been registrered as a sport from the beginning. But never too late. Kick some bike, people!!

Great, I appreciate this initiative! 

[IlyaIL]

Yes, we need a kickbike category in Strava!

Dear @Soren!

In the past 2 weeks we gathered 33 extra kudos on this topic. How many kudos do your need? I am happy to work for it if I see the end.

When can we expect that team takes into consideration to create a new footbike type. It is not a big thing for the developers just a copy from an existing category and rename it. A year is passing by and we can't get proper statistics as we can't choose the correct sport type. We cannot enjoy COMs, QOMs. Most footbikers do biking and footbiking too. This sport will be an olimpic category by the time Strava realize it. Garmin already did it. 

Thank you for your support!

Regards,

Eva in the name of at least 7 footbike clubs around the world.

Please add kickbike..and please don´t forget that kickbike is aprox. 30% more effort to same speed like bike...

We are "single speed", and that sport is more energy demanding (thats the reason we love kickbiking) as biking..

Určitě přidejte, prosím!

[Step-mam]

The idea is perfect! 
Please add this sport to Strava!
And, please call it Footbike. 
Most people will know it as footbike, the world championships and European championships are called: Footbike world championships and Footbike european championships. 
The international associations agreed on the term footbike to use international. 
Thank you very much, we footbikers will all be so happy!

October footbike challenge

25 of us were kicking their footbikes in October to show how far we get. 

See the statistics below and on the picture.

This is only the result of 25 people and thousands of footbikers are still gaining kilometres.

The statistic below, when projected out to the entire Strava footbike community significantly skews the annual results, which Strava is happy to publish (incorrectly) as a cycling result.

5755,6 km, 342:16:38 moving time, 27510 m elevation.
