The world is full (not full enough!) of recumbent riders… and some of us blog. And we read each others blogs and we find out about all manner of things. This is just a really neat story told by Don White (a.k.a. Orang Basikal), a fellow blogger with passion for recumbents and for Malaysia [...]

Very young… very fast… very natural…

Saturday, 26 September 2009 14:00

Fastest man on earth… and such a natural manner… Barbara Buatois is now the fastest HUMAN in Europe, female or male; the fastest woman in the world, and though I’m not sure what world champions are supposed to look like, looks a lot like the “girl next door”!

Saturday, 26 September 2009 02:00

The Bicycle Technology and Patents site (or Bicycle Patent blog for short) is created and updated by Bob Shaver and Steve Nipper. Fabulous site full of findings only patent attorneys could uncover. It was there that I first saw the Arizonawhips.com/ whips and Bob has updated us on them. We first ran a post about the [...]

Friday, 25 September 2009 14:00

Still poking around, looking at helmets that might work best on a recumbent. A thread started by “AbrasiveScotsman” over at BROL got me looking at the BERN helmets. I’m also very aware of helmet linings (got to have some protection up here in Canada’s winters) and sunvisors… Like the increased rear and side protection, color choices, [...]

I don’t know “steveD” from a bale-of-hay… and I understand he is from Norfolk, England; but he has a bike for sale on BHPC (that’s the Bristish Human Power Club) site that is a trifle out of the ordinary… A Burrows RatRacer SL 011. I’m pretty sure you’d be the first on your block to own [...]
