#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 .

Sorting out the race files for the first British Human Power Club meet of the 2026 season at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit on Saturday. Good to see a decent number of arm-powered entries, and people who haven't raced with us before.

Hopefully it'll stay dry enough that I don't end up riding blind and come off the track at a random tangent like I did last time...

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).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwuOpDaBcP4

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.

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.

Early-bird registrations for the 2024 World Human Powered Vehicle Association championships (hosted by the British Human Power Club at Betteshanger Park in Kent, UK on 16-18th of August) are now open.

Pretty much anything exclusively human-powered with a rider over 12 years of age can take part - athleticism is strictly optional, and spectators are welcome.

Camping will be available on site.

https://shop.bhpc.org.uk/wc2024 to register.

A Government U-turn on safe residential roads would destroy any hopes of a cycle friendly future. But if you don't stand up to be counted, politicians will never know that you want action for safer cycling. Add your voice: write to the PM.

#cycling. Beryl Burton. A third of the way through this book about her by Jeremy Wilson. Already the achievements are incredible. To think she and other women at the time weren't taken seriously in sport. She beat men and still didn't get the deserved support.
