Otherwise, I don't go faster than 7-8mph and the unlocked wheel does fine. Any faster and the wheel goes sideways and can make the stroller fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-run-with-a-bob-stroller#post-1341348 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:16:22 +0000 yoursilverlining 1341348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: ditto </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-run-with-a-bob-stroller#post-1341330 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:13:02 +0000 Beebug 1341330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to run with it swiveling, but found once I got used to running with the stroller, the fixed position was so.much.easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-run-with-a-bob-stroller#post-1341315 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:10:11 +0000 Silva 1341315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, I think its safer.<br /> Its annoying to turn sharp corners (like changing direction), but I can sort of lean into it for more gradual turns. I find it much easier to run with in the locked position because I can use one hand (which is recommended for running posture), and it takes no effort to keep it straight if its aligned properly (which, admittedly, took a little tweaking).<br /> I hate running with a stroller in general- its just not the same and I"ll never be able to go as fast as I can on solo runs, but I've gotten used to the bob now and it works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-run-with-a-bob-stroller#post-1341303 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:07:08 +0000 Weagle 1341303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. Our neighborhood is old, so the roads and sidewalks are pretty bumpy. I feel liked the locked position is safer. It is annoying to do the turns when walking or running slowly, but it doesn't bother me once I get in a groove. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-run-with-a-bob-stroller#post-1341302 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:07:07 +0000 Cole 1341302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't run with it typically but once I ran with it unlocked by accident and almost tipped it when we hit a bump in the sidewalk, it was like the wheel didn't have time to react, it went sideways and I was going forward and the whole stroller made it halfway to the ground before I was able to right it. So my advice would be stick with locked unless you are on very smooth terrain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-run-with-a-bob-stroller#post-1341285 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 10:02:25 +0000 Boheme 1341285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you run with the front wheel in locked position, like the directions say?<br /> I ran with DS yesterday, and its SO much easier in the free position. I found it really hard to steer with the front wheel locked! </p>
