Well, witchers are generally pretty poor, hence the plea to toss a coin to your witcher...

@TimeBandit I doubt he's looking for insurance. The logo on the back suggests he's trying to sell insurance.

@HardwareGeek that's Jake's vehicle, isn't it?

@boomzilla oh, I know! Bicycles are allowed to use tarmac roads and pedestrians aren't, but tarmac is so much nicer to run on than sidewalks so they pretend to be on bicycles to avoid tickets when they run on public roads alongside car traffic!
You can tell by the professional running shirts that no doubt costed $400 apiece.

IIRC the marketing behind these is that they reduce the force on your knees while running.

I solve this problem by not running, but if you want to complicate things...

The same effect could be achieved with less ugliness by making them with a frame between one's legs, like an ordinary bicycle (but without pedals, obviously).

@HardwareGeek yeah but the guy would be somewhat uncomfortable. The girl would certainly like it though.

With this contraption there's already a harness between the legs to pull one upwards and reduce the strain on the user's knees, so such frame would need to go even lower where the user would continuously bang their knees against it. As a result I think it's difficult to make it prettier without touching its function of being a running aid.
Of course, there are other contraptions if the user has knees which are healthy enough to carry their own weight, yet don't want to load their back and knees with repetitive shocks. One example is this elliptical bike:
It's still more cycling than running though.

I don't run unless I'm being chased.

They have those, it's called a balance bike. It's for teaching preschoolers how to balance in order to ride a bike.
But there are probably places adults could get them.
My daughter never had training wheels she when right from a balance bike for at most two months to an unassisted bike (with handbrakes).

I've biked and skated over cobblestones I don't recommend it.
I face planted at least one time on my skates. Luckily the bruising on my face wasn't noticeable unless you knew to look for it.

He's a character on a satirical martial arts youtube channel: Master Ken. Pretty much every technique or demonstration ends with "..and then restomp the groin."

There was an episode of Seinfeld similar to this. Once again, life imitates art.

I have no idea what that is. I'd guess from the context that it must be called a Figaro (and indeed, an image search for "figaro car" returns that exact image as the first result), but I wouldn't have known that without the context.

I just GIS'd "figaro" by itself which gave me a lot of pictures of the cat from Pinocchio (as I expected).
