It's a cool little craft that is pedaled rather than paddled (or can be paddled AND pedaled), and can go as fast as 8 to 9 knots if you're in good shape. I was just wondering if this thing could be called a kayak since it's similar to a sit-on-top. Anyone on the list used one?>> I haven't used one, but I'd like to. I used to race bicycles and I miss. I don't miss landing on pavement though... water is so much friendlier ;-) What a wonderful workout one would get from paddling and pedaling at the same time. Kayaks that have a sail are still called kayaks, not sailboats. BTW, sit-on-tops are kayaks too. They are kayaks for warmer climates.
