  1. @SimonCHulse these are two Hase Kettwiesel trikes. From the last one, the front wheel is removed and with some clever attachment the front of the trike is now attached to the rear of the other. This is standard for this trike. You can add as many trike as you want.

    (Also #rule17, but that is another thing about #recumbents)

  2. @kinetix I love my StreetMachine (HP Velotechnik). It's only a two wheeler recumbent, but it's so fun to ride.

    I just need a more suitable area to do rides. I could ride everywhere when I lived in Portland Oregon, but sadly, any form of cycling is pretty much a death wish down here in Sonoma County.

  3. CW: Knees and wrists 🚴‍♀️

    @Digger_71
    No, thank you. 🤪
    I'd fall asleep in that posture. 😅

    But seriously, on our streets, that would be the most dangerous mode of #transportation. #Motorbikes are already invisible to many larger vehicles. Recumbents make easy roadkill. 🤷‍♀️ And adding a flag doesn't really make #recumbents more visible. I drive a lot. Yes, I* see them, but only because I'm not distracted. Many drivers out there are distracted while driving.

  4. What is the distance you would/could #bike in a day and still be comfortable* at the end of your ride?

    By comfortable, I mean you're not so exhausted that all you want to do is sleep -- you still have energy to do stuff or go sightseeing.

    Includes #bicycles, #unicycles, #trikes, #recumbents, #KickScooter, #pedelecs a.k.a. #eBikes with #PedalAssist... anything that uses pure/some human* pedal power.
