#recumbent — Public Fediverse posts

The other day I posted a picture of just the frame for this trike as I was starting to build it. This is the completed beast which I've been riding for a few days now.

Super comfortable, 2 battery mounts (only one battery on this morning, but the idea is to be able to go a long ways or have the ability to do massive climbs without completely draining the charge), head and tail lights, 2 bottle holders, and a wireless charging phone mount (it was an option, I had to get it).

The motor kit is from Grin Technologies in Vancouver, and it's been injected with cooling fluid (which they call Statorade, lol!) to keep the temp. stable even on long climbs. (Hub motor overheating can be a real issue)

It will be interesting to see how long the brake pads last with the regenerative braking taking on the bulk of the load.

So far, so fun!

Instead of "biketivism" including only those pedaling 2 wheels, make it "cyc-ops" and bring in everyone from unicyclists to quadricyclists and more. 😃 👍

The Most Inspiring Ride in Texas | Adaptive Cycling in San Antonio

I always feel like I should annotate JaYoe's videos where he talks about "adaptive cycling" and disability. Because the ableism comes through, even if it's benign.

Suffice it to say, I'd love to hear the perspective of longtime disabled cyclists represented more...

Spezi 2026-Radical Designs has New Fabrics/Colors & More

I didn't spend a looong time looking at this booth, but the bags looked good to me and were definitely of interest to me given that Ortlieb no longer makes its recumbent line.

In 2020 I took over this #KMX #recumbent #trike from @Obri's estate. I think he'd liked what I made out of it. These are 4 red Knog+ (handlebar+backrest), 2 white Knog+ (handlebar) and 1 Lezyne Strip Drive Front—which I unfortunately had to mount with #cableties to the front bracket bearing. (And yes, in the long term I'd like to have hub dynamo lighting on it as on my Bromptons. 😎 But for @mch2022camp this must suffice—if I manage to get this thing tied to the roof of my camper. 🤪) @fedibikes
