“Put your affairs in order…”

Monday, 27 July 2009 15:12

I’m still laughing… Over at ‘BentRider Online.com their reader David Cambon of Vancouver, British Columbia posted this picture: and having a hawk-eye on the centre of the Pacific Populaire pin, he had this to say about it, “Put your affairs in order! The apocalypse is upon us! Eeeeee! I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the [...]

And a bucket seat to boot…

Monday, 27 July 2009 15:10

I’m really wondering if there is ever going to be an end to discovering trikes that I don’t know anything about. Today it has been the TRIPOD by www.tripod-bikes.com. I know, that’s not a place, that is a URL but that is all their site mentions. They are from somewhere in Holland I suspect but [...]

Monday, 27 July 2009 15:07

Kids just seem to naturally be attracted to recumbents… and they would probably be recumbent riders all their lives IF they continuously had a ride that fit them properly (how many tykes have you seen sliding waaaay down in Mom or Dad’s recumbent, struggling to reach the pedals?). One potential solution is the Hase TRETS. In its [...]

Is there a “Recumbent Mountainbike”?

Sunday, 26 July 2009 15:07

We got asked if there is such a thing as a “mountainbike recumbent”? I have ridden a recumbent down a few different places (some planned, but not all) but never down a single track on a mountain. A quick trip to Wiki (a quiki?) yielded: Mountain bike recumbents With the right equipment and design, recumbent bikes can be [...]

Taking a different tack…

Sunday, 26 July 2009 10:48

It’s cooler here today, and windy! Puts me in mind of a great day for sailing. If you like sailing and biking you can combine them with this… It is a PTEROSAIL trike kit from Pterosail Trike Systems, LC, who say of it: “The adventures you’ll have riding the Solo GT trike equipped with the Pterosail [...]

The Great White North…

Saturday, 25 July 2009 04:57

We Canadians often exhibit a fascination with the weather… we kid that we have seven months of winter and 5 months of “tough sledding”. We did have snow in May. But we do get summer… and it is glorious… and the lilies have popped open… and it should be 30 in the shade today (that’s high [...]
