Abstract: A skating velocipede apparatus to facilitate skating propulsion of a skater along a smooth, hard underlying ground surface while in a seated position taking the form of a longitudinal support member having wheels at the rear, a handle at the front end, a seat at an intermediate location, and a thigh-receiving abutment positioned shortly forwardly of the seat whereby to make it possible for a skater having skates fastened to each of his shoes to sit down on the intermediately positioned seat and move his thighs forwardly until they forcibly strike the thigh-receiving abutment while he places his hands on the front-positioned handle and leans back so that the rear positioned wheels will be forced downwardly into rolling contact with the underlying hard ground surfaces.
