I pedal my Hobie; only dealers peddle them.
Pedal it is , my misspell . ( 3 languages is hard on an old brain )

Have you seen people riding a bicycle but instead stand on the PEDALS ?
I did that when I was young.

Many young kid now do stunts on their bicycle, slaming hard while standing on the PEDALS. Never heard anyone broke their PEDALS arms.
And if they do , they might need a trip to the emergency room !

I said that's a design failure by Hobie.
