Jouta: FWD and RWS

Monday, 09 August 2010 02:00

A new trike is emerging (there are photos on the website now) from Jouta, in Holland (actually from the northern province of Friesland). The brainchild of Sietse de Vries, Sytze Jouta and Hans Jouta, there is a rather full-body fairing in the works but not yet shown on the site. See the emerging details at [...]

Ride With GPS

Sunday, 08 August 2010 04:57

[Click on this image to enlargen it] I went back and had a second look at RideWithGPS.com, largely upon seeing friend Duncan Watson glow about it on his Facebook page! Very glad I did… The software has been evolving and I’m sure it is still; it has reached a very full-featured state. The image above [...]

Bollards

Saturday, 07 August 2010 06:05

An article in Ligfiets.net caught my eye a few days ago, on “Paaltjes” or bollards in English. The gist of the article was that my wife Penny isn’t the first person to have come a cropper on a bollard. Apparently these devices send some 325 cyclists in Europe to the hospital and cause another 2,500 [...]

There is a search engine to help you locate a particular video if you like. You can browse the entire collection on the thumbnail area and/or [...]

Vector by AlienOcean

Wednesday, 04 August 2010 06:39

In commenting on the Drymer.nl post we did last October, “Ricky” mentioned the Vector by AlienOcean. I didn’t know the trike offhand so here it is… The thumbnail sketch is a rear-wheel powered, tilting trike with 250 W of power assist. The seat can put you almost a meter (38″) off the ground and they [...]

Arduino

Wednesday, 04 August 2010 06:23

A little over a year ago we ran a story on then “Postdoctoral researcher Leah Buechley’s (PhD 2007) work on interactive e-textile design” which may have made a few folks wonder how we got that far off topic. The gist of the article was really on the amazing Arduino tool. On their site at Arduino.cc [...]

I am almost positive that nobody in Olds, Alberta, Canada has one of these… The details, and the video [...]

Video: “Taking the Long Way to Work – Two Trikes Commute”

Tuesday, 03 August 2010 07:28

Under any of his names, Glenn Frank (Dregerclock on YouTube, or Terrafirma on ‘BROL) has a really lovely touch with recumbent videos. I was struck by the lighting in this video, great transitions and really good music by Papa_Zulu. Glenn is using a GoPro HD “Hero” wide-angle helmet camera and I like what I see! [...]
