Amazing New Bent Builds - a podcast by Gary Solomon
from 2021-06-07T10:00
Today we literally get into the weeds with our Italian bent builder Marco Ruga. He has created an amazing off road long wheel base recumbent and will show us how he did it and where he rides it. Then Englishman Alex du Pre (who is a naval engineer) reveals his first recumbent design. A tilting trike/velomobile made initially out of wood. We have two introductory reports: first from TerraTrike on their new GTS touring trike and then Jonathan Garcia is back with the brand new Metabike Mystique. Doug is returns with another gonzo bent road fix and we have two new Review Team segments: Joseph Janning from Germany talks about velomobile wheels and Mickey O'Brien from Laid Back Cycles in California reviews the ICE Adventure trike. Denny will cap it all off with the latest in sports and Honza has our recumbent news of the month.
