• Buying and Maintaining a Safe E-Assist for your Trike!
    Feb 3 2025

    We take the show on the road to Colorado to visit Electric Bike Outfitters in Denver. CEO Jason Livingston gives a tour of his facility then begins a detailed tear down of a hub and a mid-drive motor. We get to see what's inside each type of e-assist and Jason shows us how to properly lubricate and maintain each for long term use. With e-assist safety high on everyone's mind right now he shows us how EBO's batteries and motors are triple checked and gives us advice on how to make sure your buying experience is a sound one.

  • 2 Wheel Bent Comeback with the Italian Designed Slyway!
    Feb 3 2025

    We've lamented the decline of the 2 wheeled recumbent bike over the last number of years on this webcast. The Cruzbike has been an exception and more recently Dana Lieberman's Bacchetta has reappeared on the scene. Today we talk to Stefano Bonazzoli in Italy where he is now promoting his beautifully designed Slyway Ultra carbon fiber bike. He tells us all about the 3 flexible versions of the bike and its design history. Lastly, Stefano shares his very creative ideas about how to elevate recumbent bikes into the mainstream.

    Also joining us is Jason Livingston from Electric Bike Outfitters to talk about the various ways to add e-assist to your trike.

    Finally, Wizwheelz CEO Mark Crews has an important announcement about the status of Cycle-Con for 2025.

  • From Children's Shows to Trike Videos-Geoff Adams
    Dec 2 2024

    Though he's now retired, Geoff Adams spent his professional career creating music and video for many children's shows you may remember. Being an avid recumbent rider since the 1990s he also brings those amazing talents to bear on the laidback world he loves. From lowracers to trikes we discuss it all with Geoff and share the laughs and lighthearted stories from 4 of his incredible bent videos.

  • Velonaut Arrested/Velo Confiscated in Greece!
    Nov 11 2024

    Armin Ziegler has toured in many places around the world with his recumbent bikes, trikes and velomobiles. This Swiss adventurer has a well regarded collection of travel blogs that have entertained bent riders for many years. As with many velomobile riders he had been stopped by curious police a number of times always ending in a friendly chat and quick return to the road. This past May his Greek velomobile tour ended abruptly with a quite different police encounter. Armin was stopped, arrested and had his velomobile confiscated.

    We talk to Armin about his love for bent travel, the stable of recumbents he maintains, and some of the places he's been. Then we delve deeply into his recent ill-fated tour of Greece. He explains what exactly happened, why he thinks he was singled out and the current legal status of his court case.

  • Steintrikes Go Solar Across the US then Help Vet Climb Mt. Washington!
    Oct 21 2024

    We have two incredibly inspiring stories that share a connection involving a Steintrike Wild One trike.

    First up we talk to John Gunterman. John is a US veteran who was injured in the middle east. He talks about his journey of recovery, how Steintrikes have played a part in it and how he now is dedicated to helping others ride to health. Setting goals is a large part of John's plan and his focus is now on climbing the notoriously difficult Mt. Washington next spring on a Wild One. Where this trike will come from takes us to our second story...

    Having set their own personal goal of promoting solar power and sustainability around the world, Megan and Polo created "The Green Journey". This young couple (an American woman and Frenchman) set out from Berkeley, California this summer on two electrified solar powered Steintrikes. They were attempting to become the first solar powered trikes to cross America. Along the way they met amazing people and shared their ideas on how to make the world a better place.

  • Why Off Road Bent Riding Might be for You!
    Aug 19 2024

    We have two bent riders who take off roading to a more comfortable place. Hezi Yismach is an Israeli bike designer and builder with a penchant for innovation. Richard Ehrlich rides his custom built off road bents where even mountain bikes are challenged. This Canadian adventure rider is even competitive in many of the racing events he enters. We will learn about these amazing guys and then engage our panel in a discussion of bikes, trikes and the future of recumbent off road riding.

    The Icarus Cup event is a pure human powered flight event at Manston Airport in Kent, England. Our British Human Powered Club correspondent Barney Harle was there this past June and delivers a fascinating report.

    Trident trikes has a new children's trike called the "Half Pint". Owner Tom Flohr was kind enough to ship me a loaner this summer so we could do a review. My grandkids unboxed, assembled and test rode it so we could evaluate it from a kids perspective.

  • Bents Battle for Sun Trip 2024 Victory-Jack Butler Interview!
    Jul 8 2024

    A solar panel above and a small electric motor on the wheel of his AZUB Six bike was all the assistance Jack Butler needed to become this year's Sun Trip Champion. The Englishman battled former champ Frances Jean-Marc Dubouloz who rode a WAW velomobile on a fiercely contested route from Lyon, France to the Sahara Desert in Morocco and back. Jack tells us all about his adventure racing history, the two wheeled bent he now loves and the highlights of this year's nip and tuck race to the finish line.

    If you're starting to think about attending the 2024 edition of Cycle-Con this September we've got the guy with all the latest details. Mark Crews is the CEO of WizWheelz who produce this event every year. He joins me with exciting new updates on the exhibitors, venue and new policies for the largest recumbent show in North America.

    Larry Seidman has a Sports Report on last month's Waterford, Michigan's HPRA racing event. Larry traveled there from his Colorado home to race and bring us this report.
