Mountain Tamer

Sunday, 24 October 2010 05:15

I don’t suppose you have ever heard of a recumbent rider trying to more gears out of their ride, lower, higher, more increments in the range… Here is a possibility. The folks at Abundant Adventures say of their Mountain Tamer Plus: Using the Mountain Tamer Plus over the existing triple chainring you can have 5 [...]

Two really, really nice automobile license plates. A fabulous idea that I REALLY would like to catch on in more jurisdictions… [Seen in a post by "3TracksintheSand" on 'BROL]

Taxi!

Friday, 22 October 2010 06:01

I have been studying a whole new world… the Pedicab, the Velotaxi, the BicyTaxi… it has a myriad of names but it seems to have spread world wide! A really informative place to start is the International Bike Fund page on Pedicab Manufacturers at ibike.org. Pedicabs are NOT common in most of Canada (but we [...]

Terry Scott’s Photo Contest Entry

Thursday, 21 October 2010 15:40

Unable to balance on a two-wheeled bike anymore and too painful riding stoker on our tandem, Sheilia, my wife turned to riding a recumbent trike. The first one, a steel frame Sun, was cumberson and not much fun to ride. She's fallen in love with the lighter Greenspeed Anura and takes it nearly everyday weather permitting. We added a second one for me to ride and to couple together as a tandem. Its part of our "No Wife Left Behind" program.

Raptobike: New Site

Thursday, 21 October 2010 10:59

I saw my first Raptobike at the OHPV gathering in Portland, Oregon on the Memorial weekend of 2009. It was owned by our (now) friend Duncan Watson and I was in awe at the sight of that sleek white machine. Little did I know we’d both have Mango velomobiles a year later but that is [...]

Adiubik

Wednesday, 20 October 2010 17:02

This is an “Adiubik” by Christian Breig of Christianbreig.de. The idea is pretty straight forward… on the bottom of this platform is a clip-in pedal cleat, above the platform you can wear almost any shoe you prefer. You have the advantages of applying power on the upstroke and the down stroke but you get to [...]

Krocktest

Wednesday, 20 October 2010 06:06

The folks over at RBR ran this on their Facebook site. It is a “crash test” on a neck-collar/air-bag-helmet for cyclists. It is really easy to laugh at this sort of thing (even some of the Hövding test staff seem amused at one point) and the price tag of about $450 might seem a bit [...]
