Yup… this tandem is different…

Monday, 24 August 2009 15:13

So now you get to practice your dead-eye: How does that big ring inside the timing chain stay in place? What is that extra set of cranks under the stokers bars for? What about that handle that appears to stick out obliquely from the stoker’s saddle? Three really good questions, and I don’t know any of the answers. This tandem [...]

Sunday, 23 August 2009 18:53

by Larry Varney Co-Editor, ‘BentRider Online Shortly after I published my review of the new swb from Easy Racers, the Aptera, readers compared that bike to the P-38. That’s understandable, since there is at least a resemblance to that classic bike. They also compared it to the J-Dart Pro from Woodside Cycles. I hated to admit it, [...]

Sunday, 23 August 2009 18:09

Yup… I’m still on about that Front Wheel Drive thang. Here’s a home built FWD trike that throws in “leaning” to boot — Tim Hicks you rock! And so does your website FleetTrikes.com! Page after page of great photos and rich narrative. I started on this little journey in BROL reading about “25Hz” posting about his Black Max [...]

Malric Leborgne

Sunday, 23 August 2009 15:08

If this vision of a bike looks a trifle familiar, it should. Think Zockra, Kouign Aman, Barbara Buatois… think very, very fast bikes and then think Malric Leborgne, the man who designed these machines. Mssr.

A plan is starting to form…

Saturday, 22 August 2009 18:13

A whole lot of seemingly random preferences are starting to gel in my mind (it has been said that most of my mind is gel) into a picture of the bike I’d like to have next (there is always a next bike isn’t there?).
