Recumbent Trike Full Speed Head-on Collision

[@JaYoeNation]

Mel, Pat, Janet and I take a ride around Downtown Portland, corss a few bridges, cycle some beautiful places.. and run into eachother. Visit Recumbent PDX - recumbentpdx.com/ Terra Cycle - t-cycle.com/

[@StellarFella]

Pat, Janet, and Mel should organize and lead tours on trikes. People can fly in for a tour of Portland while riding a trike. It is doable after COVID. They both know their way around and where the hot spots are. A large van can transport groups of 6 to different spots where they will unload and ride a stretch.

What a fun wholesome video. Looks like an interesting city. Thanks for sharing.

[@StellarFella]

When you search for good interview candidates, don't forget about retirement communities! They are full of super interesting individuals. A trike would serve as two things. 1) a conversation magnet to promote trikes and 2) a venue to discover promising interview candidates. True synergy.

[@paulahavens2764]

thanks for the video and taking us along with your ride it was great to see people riding and havinging fun come on spring, and summer need to ride here in Canada, not a snow rider. JaYoe go Yeti.

[@harivenkatesh3816]

Its so relaxing watching your videos

[@tomboyd9053]

Great ride!... Thank you for showing us around the Portland, Oregon, area. Keep on Triking!

[@StellarFella]

Mel knows good jazz!

[@Reporterfy]

Loving the hat

*The JaYoe Nation w Mel appreciate your commentary-on Trikes Listening from Mass USA TYVM 💙 JaYoe Mel Pat Janet*

[@떡볶이나리]

Made me smile. 😊

[@wujiao8373]

As full speed crashes go, that actually went pretty well.

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Doh, we in merica always ride on the right side of the path... Yikes...

[@raymondlianto9882]

Good ride. 7:12 I thought that accident caused damage to his trike but apparently not.

[@davislar1]

I wondered the same - or to someone’s legs.

[@mikedolberry3043]

I love the recumbent rides! Looking forward to the resumption of the World Tour.

[@StellarFella]

Janet was good at being objective instead of being subjective about the Catrike Mel initially dismissed. He was admirably humble about his mistake.

[@wakjagner]

Glad to see you enjoying a pedal around our town. One of my favorite rides (on a good day), is to head out Willamette Blvd to St. Johns Cathedral Park.

[@hahafalseflag5090]

Love this video

[@MishaDaBear]

Love the out-takes, at lease you included Portlands abunded homeless. After talking to a unscientific sample of the local homeless at a church that operated a soup kitchen of about 30 individules who I chatted with about 70% completed university with no jobs since 2008. There were lawyers, nurses who never worked because they have anglo heritage. One was a doctor who had been hurt in a car/bike accident and was hooked on oxy. There were a number of school teachers who never worked. Some homeless had a PHD level university education. 3 or 4 spoke french but got addicted to the wrong drugs. The remainder were english speaking unfortinately with french heritage, we are seen as traitors. I too have university and a college diploma but can't get work in my field unless I can pass a fench language written test. I am working and far luckyer but I so easily have been amoung their ranks! As for Ford, though credited for it, they actually adapted the assembly line as it had existed in the food industry prior to his evolution of the process into creating soft and hard goods. His assembly line was the longest and most elaborate ever dreamed up, and he was very proud of it! It cut the cost of production by 75% over other manifacturing. And it sped his production. The previous line operations were meat processing (reverse processing) where an animal was slottered then parts were removed along a line until complete. In biscuit and bread plants people worked at stations combining raw goods, then a worker mixed those groups of raw or cooked goods into forms like doughnuts and into an oven, the cooked proceeded to get glazes and toppings, and packaging. The prime important characteristics was that the worker did not follow the product, the product moved on to the next worker and process.

I've really been enjoying your trips around Portland because I recognize locations. And I learn about bike trails that I've never ridden. I imagine you're not in Portland anymore, but just in case, I'll keep an eye out for you trikers when I'm driving a school bus all over town :)

[@JaYoeNation]

I’m still in Portland. Going to be here a while

[@MostlyHarmless68]

@@JaYoeNation Hey cool, I'll keep my eye out. I drive past that Fubonn Supermarket on 82nd every morning (I remember you featured it in your Chinese New Year video).

[@simonbass255]

Those twisting shots were really cool, especially as you guys were going down the pedestrian bridge!

[@RoaminRob]

Lmao u both sounded ashamed when u crashed 🤣🤣🤣

[@JaYoeNation]

Haha I was not proud

[@BrokefishN]

🎉Jayoe💜. you should go over to rose city they are now the official seller for George Chen,s Pro-Performer trikes &ice trikes you are in Portland. Glad to see you back on a tadpole 😎more trikes please. Jayoe 👋🏻

[@StellarFella]

Members of retirement communities are bored silly. They are just waiting to discover the exciting world of recumbent trikes. Reach them with a website and video they can view, learn, and get excited by.

[@RodeoRuss82ndABN]

I'm Jealous. Awaiting a call from Mel and Janet to say my 559 has arrived at Recumbent PDX. When Ya want a special color, one must wait. Praying it arrives the next week or so as spring is coming. Then the long drive down from tri cities to get it set up to ride. Can't wait.

[@StellarFella]

Janet is so nice and does have a hearty laugh.

[@dansv1]

I was very interested to see the twist shifter setup at 4:19. Could an Enviolo shifter be set up in the same orientation at the top of a vertical handlebar?

[@BubuH-cq6km]

10:45 "Make America Great" and "Build Back Better" ...what a great 2 party system we have.....

[@dershwans]

I was thinking those flags don't seem to be doing much good. Moments later one involved in the collision... Dude, you need a flag. LOL

[@StellarFella]

Smart marketing outreach to seniors and middle aged people is the key to more sales. Once people have the chance to ride a recumbent trike, they are hooked. The key is getting them to take that trial ride. How to do that is the other key.

[@rossbrumby1957]

Hope the trikes frames weren't bent after that prang! Pretty basic though, a wheel alignment will fix anything thats not obviously bent.

[@StellarFella]

COVID hit everyone hard. It has probably been tough for Mel and Janet, but things are getting so much better now.

[@jasoninmichigan6078]

Well, you did try giving a warning! Glad nobody was hurt. How did your knees handle the trike?

[@Bikepacking]

His setup is way cool

[@StellarFella]

Mel is right. Portland is an ideal city for triking. Yes. It rains, but there are plenty of good days to trike. And you don't overheat like at other places. Overcast is preferable.

[@ivankorth4458]

Any chance you can tell me what kind of head or neck rest is on the orange trike ? Gentlemen with white beard and white helmet?

[@RecumbentPDX]

Finer Recliner. That gentleman, Pat Franz, produces them here in Portland at his company Terracycle

[@rdkuless]

My Solar Recumbent Etrike has 2kwh of power to give unlimited range on sunny days.. It uses Tesla cells... 21700

[@StellarFella]

Everybody else was going clockwise.

[@DeplorablesGarbage]

Malaysia looks like Minneapolis, MN

[@rickdenbraber6869]

Mel let me ride a Cattrike 700 with glass bearings etc fully tricked out. I went up the hill and around the mountain and back again. It was fast as blank and what a fun ride. Up to that point I thought I was going to buy one but I finished the ride with cramps and my back was a bit tight. I decided it would not be what I want to ride for ultra rides that I like to do. So I went with the HPVelotechnic FS 26 and love it with no regrets. Will always remember that speedy 700 though.

[@StellarFella]

HP trikes are hard to beat.

[@donaldtank]

I wish I can ride with a group of trikes

[@pinoykayaker]

I'm in los angeles. Nobody rides these bikes. I have 3-GTO, 700 and Pocket. . Can't find anyone to ride with. Lol.

[@LadyEdisto]

Tell Mel he needs to trim his eyebrows

[@JaYoeNation]

If you are in the area and have a pair of scissors Mel would gladly take a trim.

[@David_Liu93]

I would appreciate it if you support brave Ukrainian men and women fighting with the Hitler of the 21st century in the middle of Europe.

[@edgrossman9839]

Sure! What else could this KZbin channel possibly be about?

[@rickblaine5429]

Well, it went from a recumbent bike channel to a China $HILL channel to a VanLife channel (lol), so surely it can add more space for the next flavor of the month

[@SFCRambo60]

KZbin is stacking your videos and not letting me see them. I wish you could tell KZbin to stop.

[@rolandthethompsongunner64]

I hate recumbents. You’re practically laying on the ground and expect people to see you ? Even the flag helps little with visibility. And on paved trails they’re rolling obstructions.

[@ericolsen9799]

Wow its been years since I have been to your channel. I guess you are no longer in Japan?? I want Trump back world is going to hell.

[@edgrossman9839]

Absolutely nothing weird, random or digressive about your comment

[@JerseyStyle7]

Mope 😂👎🏽
