Wind would let itself be felt, especially gusting from the side. It wouldn't be too bad. I would much rather mount that device in the rear wheel, where you'd barely know it was there!

http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=123201 Here ya go, Zzzorse. It's pretty entertaining, really.

Here's a theory which I think may apply. By way of explaining the context of the linked article, let us assume that the recumbent community in question is a Conservative group. Challenging Conservative tenets with conflicting data will not affect Conservative beliefs. Right? Right...

Second Fall ride. It was sunny, about 65 degrees F. and windy. Sunday is my favorite day to ride. Not much traffic and not as much road rage to deal with. Just a short ride, but enough of a workout to make climbing stairs a little bit more interesting after the ride. The crosswind did not...

We work with what's familiar to us, don't we? For me, it's wood. Now, Mr. guythatusedtobefast, be mindful of tight-radius corners on your working neckrest. You know, sharp corners and stuff. This looks promising, so far!

Dealing out instant Karma is a fun concept, but it's usually frowned upon. o_O I thought I'd turn this fun thread into a useful resource, especially since the title is perfect: "Tired of Being Mistreated by Motorists." So, to get the ball rolling.... I like the, Close Call Database...

Footnotes: The primary reason for this neck rest kluge was that, for the first time in my bicycling life, I actually needed a headrest. When I finished building the seat pan of the 18-degree reclined seat for my Sofrider and tested it for fit and position on the bike, I found that -surprise- I...

It's been raining recently. On top of that, my knee needed the rest, so, this was my first real ride on the road in a few weeks. Hopped on the bike, intending to just putter around a few miles, going through the gears and just enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon on the road. After a few miles, the...

This post really does belong here, where it is most appreciated. Thanks for posting it!

All I ever wanted was an inexpensive, durable, lightweight, infinitely variable transmission. Is that asking too much?

When durable tubeless radial-ply bicycle tires finally happen, I'll dump the stiff old tubed bias-ply clinchers I've suffered through all my life on bicycles.... Right now, only Maxxis makes a radial and it's not looking very durable.

Hi, Jamie! One of the jobs that paid me money was, 'motorcycle test rider' and one of my tasks was to test overloaded saddlebags and tail trunks. When I'd take my Sofrider out to do some shopping, I'd attach my drybags to the the frame either under the seat for heavy loads or under the seat...

Excellent, Mr. Weissert! I first learned this on PBS, "The Truth About Exercise" and adapted these concepts to my own life. From the show: "- three 20 second bursts of extreme cardiovascular exercise three times a week may be all most individuals need to lower levels of blood lipids, glucose...

That's a beautiful bike, Bentas: the bars you fabbed finish it off nicely. Awesome!

Try it now. It works again. Thank you, whoever you are.

Yeah, well, when my carbon DF was still together, I went for a short spin and one of the hills had the Sheriff's radar speed sensing sign parked along side the road. Sprinting up the hill and out of the saddle, I read 18mph. Going up the same hill on my Sofrider, I read 11mph. My Vendetta is...

Veeery interesting observations. Here's another: laws are made to be broken.

Uh oh.

I'll just keep on wearing the skulls of the vanquished.

- are your arms not too much up in the air? No, probably the arm position could be better on the V, but it is perfect on the Sofrider, because the drop bars on the Sofrider are narrower. If I need better aerodynamics, the arms can tuck while the legs steer. - can you see something with the...
