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. 😃 👍

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.

It's been a long time coming, but here's David's video of the 2024 #WHPVA championships, complete with his usual excellent commentary. In which lots of people go very fast, and he fails to keep things rubber-side down.

There are bits of the 3-hour race that I've watched literally dozens of times in the finish-line camera footage, trying to spot velomobiles with dodgy timing tags. Weird to see them from the reverse angle (to say nothing of in colour).

Results for those playing along at home...

The 360° potatovision footage isn't the greatest at showing the machines, but it captures the atmosphere of the event perfectly, with people cheering each other on, relaxing in the sun and occasionally running around with flags and computer-touching.

In other news, still a couple more days before the close of registrations for the #WHPVA championships. Anyone over the age of 12 on anything human-powered can take part. Unfortunately, the camping pitches have now sold out, and late registrations aren't guaranteed a T-shirt (the order has now gone to the printers).

https://wc2024.bhpc.org.uk/

We currently have 129 registered riders, which makes this a bigger event than when the #BHPC last hosted it in 2018. I've cleaned the chain on the Red Baron, and I'm starting to look at weather forecasts...

I can confirm that @[email protected] and I have written 238 individual RFID timing tags so far, with another batch to go after registrations close.

Less than 3 weeks left to register...

PSA before I go away for the weekend:

Medium-rate registration for the 2024 Human Powered Vehicle World Championship, at Betteshanger Park in Kent, UK on 16-18 of August, closes on Monday (after which prices go up, and you won't get a T-shirt).

Juniors (12-16) are half-price, and camping is available on site. Any kind of rider (you don't have to be an athlete) on any kind of human-powered vehicle (as long as it has a brake and no dangerous sharp bits) can take part. Spectators are welcome, free of charge.

We currently have 112 riders registered, but I'd really like to see more Women and Juniors on the list.
