RotoVelo Video

Tuesday, 12 October 2010 05:44

TriSled’s RotoVelo project has been causing a bit of a stir in the velomobile community. This new velomobile’s body is made out of rotomold. This is basically the same sort of stuff a rollaway trash bin is made from. It’s durable and cheap. TriSled has always had a “keep it simple” philosophy and the RotoVelo [...]

Vendetta

Tuesday, 12 October 2010 04:46

The Cruzbike Vendetta was certainly a highlight in the news with Maria Parker’s anniversary ride and re-setting of her 100 mile record (she did it in four hours and forty eight minutes in 2009; she took a big chunk off finishing it in 4:27 this October). Now, John Tolhurst of Cruzbike has posted a blog [...]
