#recumbent — Public Fediverse posts

Ausfahrt zu einem Treffen im Kleinziegenfelder Tal, zusammen mit @radlpit und einer Freundin.
Es ging durch das #wiesenttal und #leinleitertal über #heiligenstadtinoberfranken nach #stadelhofen .

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.

@FotoVorschlag: #FotoVorschlag #Kitschiges: Bin mir nicht sicher, welches der #Velomobile ich am kitschigsten finde:

* Das Weiße mit dem alte Mercedes-Grill,
* Das Orangefarbene mit blauen Punkten,
* oder doch das Pinke?

Vermutlich doch das Pinke. 😇

This afternoon's bike trip was a 37 km round trip in one hour and ten minutes to collect a 20 kg sack of "greensand" olivine for the garden.

I think it's a good example of the efficiency of velomobiles: how they make human power even more effective than when riding a normal bike. Even on the return journey with a headwind and loaded with the sack of sand, it was easy to keep the speed above 35 km/h.

Being able to stow a lot of things inside the aerodynamic form of the bike helps a lot with efficiency. You feel extra weight when accelerating, not so much once you get going.

And why the olivine ? I calculated a few weeks back that in the worst case this last winter our heating could have emitted 105 kg of CO2. This sack is enough to absorb about a fifth of that amount from the atmosphere.

Each time we plant things indoors or in our garden we add a bit of olivine.

Once humanity (especially those of us in the highly emitting richer countries) has reduced emissions by a lot, it's possible to make a bit of a dent by using a product like this. But there's no chance of compensating for ever larger emissions by trying to mine ever larger amounts of olivine.
