#recumbent — Public Fediverse posts

Heute ein Treffen in #behringersmühle auf Kaffee und Kuchen. Wir waren 8 #velomobil e, 2 #recumbenttrike und 1 #liegerad.
Die B470 war im Rahmen des Marathons in der #fraenkischeschweiz gesperrt für Krafverkehr, so konnten wir mal die komplette Fahrbahn nutzen. Mit dabei waren unter anderem @radlpit und @s_masto .

I was in Stockholm, home of the Stockholm Resilience Centre, one of the world’s most important scientific institutes. As the holidays in Sweden starts after the summer solstice, I wasn’t able to make an appointment. But I cycled over to the university in the hope of getting a photo. Of course, I’d put on the climatestripes shirt that had been donated for my journey by Cycling 4 Climate. https://cyclingfortheplanet.net/index.php/2026/06/27/resillience/

Registrations are now open for the next British Human Power Club race meet at Colchester Sports Park on the 9th of August. Nice smooth tarmac, good sightlines and sensible* corners make it the opposite of last weekend's twisty silliness at Hereford and Evesham. I'm also hoping that August means it won't be stupidly cold, like it was when we last went there in 2022 and I had to un-jam my chain with frozen fingers.

* For certain values of sensible: There's a steep embankment on the outside of the hairpin to keep things interesting if you overcook it.

The 2026 British Human Power Club race meet calendar is now complete:

Note that due to the high entry fee and limited numbers the Derby Velodrome event is unofficial, and will not earn championship points. It's a rare opportunity to ride something other than a conventional track bike on an indoor velodrome.

After the popularity of the (narrow, twisty) track at Hereford, we're doing a double-bill with the similar track at Evesham. Should be good fun for the un-faired and multitrack riders.

And we've managed to secure exclusive use of the (eyewateringly expensive) Betteshanger Park track for a weekend in September. Not a full World Championships, but we hope that some riders from continental Europe will take the opportunity to come over to enjoy the track, which with its long swooping curves and good sight-lines is well suited to faster machines.

I've been riding daily for the last week and this cycle has been the most enjoyable experience. My local Catrike dealer went above and beyond to help me make sure this was the right cycle for me.

Now to figure out where to mount a ham radio!

I think I can officially declare that I'm a cyclist again!

I used to ride an upright bike for commuting to/from transit, but got out of the habit when I did more car commuting five years ago. I donated my bike to the local community bike group so it could be refurbished and go to good use.

I'm not going back to commuting to transit, but wanted to do more exercise so I invested into a Catrike Dumont which is a recumbent tadpole trike.

Dear Friends on the #fringes,

As we may know:

I'm in the Fediverse since 2019, but never did an #introduction so far:

I'm a #Linux #sysadmin, digital #forensics expert and #Debian developer. Programming in #Perl and #shell most time.

I insist on a #mechanicalkeyboard.

I like #Citroën #oldtimers (#2CV, #HY, #CX) and the #CityEL. I travel with #motorhome and #Brompton.

I'm going with #BikeToWork and like exotic #bicycle types: #foldingbike, #recumbent and #trike.

I am and always was a #nonsmoker. Have #asthma, though. I am #vaccinated.
