Great job as always Gary thanks as an avid off road and gravel recumbent trike rider and racer I agree that suspension is a must for this type of riding and racing my Azub Ti Fly X does great and I can navigate 90% of single track I ride on thanks to good tires, suspension and my Pinion P18! I need another set of dedicated gravel wheels/tires to make it roll faster on gravel vs my Maxxis 2.4” off road tires cheers

Great that you’re out on the trails. You got my point that many trails can be ridden well on a ‘bent, and the TiFly would be a good ride. I think your definition of singletrack might be different though- none of the singletrack we ride in the East could be ridden by a trike. I bet out west where the forests are more open or in non-forested dry areas it would be fine.

@@Offroadbentwell I guess we will have to agree to disagree! I live in Northern NY and ride single track all the time at my local area.. have also ridden single track in VA, AR, and CO just to name a few? I have been on my single track trails that many “mountain bikers” won’t ride because of ratings, don’t judge others disabilities and confuse it with our abilities! If a traditional mountain bikes handle bars can fit I can get my Ti Fly X to fit. The biggest challenge on a trike is the lack of ground clearance that’s usually my limiting factor. Now I have ridden some single track where I haven’t been able to fit between the trees or rocks. I know that my trike can’t ride all single track but saying it’s not possible is a bad approach and certain makes other recumbent trike and hand cyclist think they can’t do it!

Electric assist is the future, analog cycling is fading away as the older generation dies off with their No Pain No Gain mentality, so it would be much more interesting if the channel promoted electric assisted laidback riding. There ain't no future in the past.
@GarySolomon 20 күн бұрын
Hi Susan! I agree with most of that and we have often featured segments on bents with e-assist. We will continue to do so!
@markfeldman6509 19 күн бұрын
I guess I am part of the older generation at age 72 with no plans of “dying off” in the near future and I ride my 559 and 700 1000 miles per month all year long in my native New England and in Florida in the winter…….with all power being generated by the old legs and no motor. Adding e assist is wonderful for people who need it and want it. There is plenty of future in the past if one stays in shape and one stays in shape by doing the work. If the time comes where I have to cut back or need the e assist to ride then I will add it on.but not until it is totally needed. People succeed and prosper by doing the hard work. I’m living proof of that. I am turned off totally by seeing young folks scooting by…or trying to on e-bikes when they are the age of my grandkids. E-bikes have to have speed governors on them where I live and they get pissed off when the old man on a recumbent trike blows by them. No speed governors in this old man!

Hey Mark-I'm a big fan of e-assist but not for everyone. My wife has it on her trike but I still prefer turning those pedals totally under my own power. I'm your age and agree that there is some pride in the extra effort. I don't think this will last forever so when that time comes I'll be ready for the help😊

The 700 will always be me cranking it out for ,speed. It will definitely be a hub drive system so,I can maintain all 3 rings up front.

Richard Ehrlich here. I thought Gary did a great job on this. One thing I want to add- I didn’t discuss trikes off-road because 80% of the riding I do would not be possible on a trike. No trike would negotiate even the easy forest singletrack trails we ride. A trike would be fine for the doubletrack and forest roads.

Dennis Grelk here. Some thoughts as a builder that's about two decades into fiddling with Gravel recumbents and two versions into Offroad recumbents. I pretty much totally agree with Richard. It's really tough to beat long wheelbase with big wheels for true singletrack riding. The stability and ease of starting and stopping in that format allows you to ride things even traditional diamond frames can struggle with. I think the cutoff point for how difficult of trail one can ride is mostly limited to trail that require becoming airborne. There's just no easy way to adjust your center of gravity in that situation on recumbent. Otherwise you can climb and descend nearly anything. Switchbacks are the biggest challenge. For gravel the key is clearance for a 2" tire. SWB can work. LWB will be a little more stable. This shouldn't be a niche bike. Building bikes with enough tire clearance and stability to do more than ride pavement isn't rocket science, especially now in the era of disc brakes. Rans Stratus /Phoenix WRX, Lightfoot Ranger, Carver are all great examples of a bikes prime for all roads, gravel or pavement if you stuff a supple 2" tire on there and run lower tire pressures. It'd handle light trail as well.

Dennis, your builds push the envelope more than I can. We are in Sentiers du Moulin in Quebec right now, and the riding is very technical, some of the hardest we’ve seen. My bike is doing better than Barb’s top end Pivot MTB, mainly because I am at less risk of falling off and getting hurt. We are only riding the intermediate Enduro trails, and riders on the harder trails have full body armour and full face helmets. Also lots of e-assist, as the climbs are steep and tricky. I am definitely getting air, as I go way up off my seat, but the bike is staying grounded. If I was to ride here regularly, I’d need a beefier ‘Bent made for enduro. The Kodiak is a bit light for that.

Great information here. It is difficult to get group rides together in my state of Arkansas, trikes are just now really being known in central Arkansas. The northwest corner of the state is a bit bigger on social riding. I’m trying to make central Arkansas more social. It is an elderly experience as well, and nothing wrong with that, but I’m trying to make it a younger thing in Arkansas as well. I love watching Sylvia’s videos and she has been a huge inspiration to me to get out and be active and ride.

Nobody ever quantifies tolerance for off-camber. e.g my ICE Adventure can handle about 8.5" of off-camber before I eat dirt (or concrete). Understood that such a quantification is complicated by the fact that different riders will have different centers of gravity, but this is a pretty serious thing in the context of a trike going off a curb or going across a hill and the prospective buyer should have at least some idea of when they will tip over.

That sucks that you got hassled by the cops so much and that people would call the cops on you. I've never called the cops on anyone. On my velos (Alpha 7 and Snoek) I put big lettering which says "NO MOTOR TRICYCLE 100% HUMAN POWERED" . And I asked a cop why he stopped me, and then I think he put out a bulletin so that all the cops knew it was legal, and I almost never got stopped since then. I've had two scary bicycle accidents, but both were on small regular bicycles and neither would have happened had I been in my velomobile. Velomobile seems safer.

Just briefly, first I recommend world wide everyone, to seriously consider setting up a local IRL social meetup group - this benefits all, so many these days with anti-social (as I call it) media suffers extreme isolation, loneliness and mental health issues (especially young, extreme examples exist). We need to break free from virtual and meetup in real life. But now to the bitter truth: created myself Cycling Activity Group Finland. I don't do PR here for this one, rather, I want to help others: simply copy-paste all content if you like, I don't care (as long as you use own local information), and setup your own local group ride community. So, it's unfortunately, definitely not, easy. Remember FB is considered a no-go for many these days, especially for new gen. But on the other hand, FB is a terrific easy and good reaching platform for social events. Problem is, we live in a phonezombie virtual online folk disease culture: many believe the groups are online groups where to chat. You need to underline, the group is IRL real life not online activity. The immense work behind sharing and spreading the group can be tough - just a warning. After you have PR shares on 100+ groups and sites you begin to feel exhausted. In many countries - like Finland - the social culture is different from USA and southern Europe; it can be extremely difficult to reach people. Some good ideas here like bike shops were mentioned. Youth centers, immigration groups, foreigner groups, health and wellbeing, family, local town or city groups...if you don't do PR for your group no one knows it exists. Very important is to make people understand, your group is not an extreme sweat-blood-sports group: this is the most common perspective on cycling groups and truth is most of them are (99%). You need to scream out it's not about extreme sports. Hopefully we could start off a world wide discussion here now and develop this together. It's easier said than done.

Why was a two wheeled recumbent unstable? It makes no sense to me, because it's like a normal upright bicycle but with a lower centre of gravity. Am I missing something here? I have an HP Velotechnik Street machine, and it sticks to the road at high speed whilst cornering. I found that the front tyre can become a bit twitchy over 55km/hr, so you have to firmly hold the handlebars - not stick out your leg!

On rides, let the riders know there will be stops to regroup which can be helpful for newbies. Then, when everyone is together, it's important to give them a few minutes to catch their breath- the waiting riders have had that time, the later arrivals may have been working hard to catch up!
