What’s with the kayak…

Friday, 21 August 2009 19:37

In a former life I lived in Fort McMurray, Alberta just about on top of the confluence of the Clearwater River and the Athabasca River. The Clearwater holds a special place in my heart… I often said an hour on the Clearwater was like an hour in church; it could be a deeply spiritual place, [...]

Learning to Ride A Bicycle All Over Again

Bill Bumgarner, a new Bacchetta Giro 20 rider, recently wrote an article on his blog, entitled: Learning to Ride a Bicycle All Over Again.  This is a straightforward, well written article that I think is a good read, especially for those who are new to Bacchetta or recumbents in general.  Bill also does a good [...]

The idea is 20+ years in the development, dating back to the mid-1980s and a mechanical engineer from Imperial College, London, England named Mark Saunders.
