Catrike Dash Video Review

Wednesday, 02 September 2009 15:03

I’m a bit too big to review the new Catrike Dash kid’s recumbent so I let the heir to the throne, Parker Ball, handle this one.  We did it on video because he’s a slow typist.  If you can’t view it I’ll sum up… It feels a lot safer and faster than other child recumbents [...]

Toxy Flite Wins Eurobike Award

Wednesday, 02 September 2009 14:36

Toxy’s new Flite folding recumbent has won an award for innovation at the 2009 Eurobike tradeshow.  (Yes they do annouce the awards BEFORE the actual show for some reason)  We’ve reviewed Toxy recumbents in the past and have always been impressed with the level of refinement and quality that this small German manufacturer’s recumbents display.  [...]

Tuesday, 01 September 2009 16:46

By BRYAN J. BALL Managing Editor I’ve long been a fan of Challenge recumbents.  How could you not be? If you judge the entire line as a whole, it’s pretty easy to argue they make the most beautiful ‘bents in the world right now.  Their lowracers and other two wheelers have been objects of desire in the [...]

My team is called Bendigo Youth Racing. We generally race 24 hour circuit events with 8 rider teams down here, so a bit different to the US [...]

Completely off topic – Fighting Comment Spam here…

Tuesday, 01 September 2009 15:05

We run this blog on a content management system called WordPress. Actually, Allan Barnard set it up that way, we inherited it, and we’re delighted with it. Except for the SPAM, and that’s sure not an issue specific to WordPress blogs… it is ubiquitous. The variety we get is “comment spam”. I should show some of [...]

Transmogrification…

Monday, 31 August 2009 15:10

trans·mog·ri·fy (trns-mgr-f, trnz-)tr.v. To change into a different shape or form, especially one that is fantastic or bizarre. “Fantastic” yes, “bizarre” is maybe a little strong! The clan over at The TrikeDoctor forum have had a transmogrification. They are now formally PedalheadsOnline. Their scope is now broader as the new name imples; they have added a MarketPlace for [...]

Easy as….

Monday, 31 August 2009 15:05

PIE! I used to run quite a bit… at Sunday morning foot-races mostly (actually only the front half dozen folks were really “racing”; the rest of us were just out for a good stiff jog). But… the races were always followed by the most amazing spreads of fruit and cookies and granola bars. If I had [...]
