Recumbent Trike Tour, Cades Cove, TN 2019.05.08, BIG LEAF® Cycling Canopy

To cyclists. the freedom of movement outdoors and individual independence offers a way to refresh & recharge. While bicycles played a big role is liberating women in the late 1800's, the evolution of the 'recumbent' cycle in the 2000's has added an element of comfort to a broader base and rider skill-sets. Perhaps the BIG LEAF® Cycling Canopy will enhance and broaden that group even further by adding safety, protection, convenience with style.
Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park provides a perfect setting to that experience. Enjoy.

YAHOO back in Cades Cove with Ed We have all missed your fantastic Trike videos, hope to see you on the trail this year 😉

[@jasontoler1356]

Thank you Ed for another wonderful video.

[@Colorcountryrecumbentriders.]

Another wonderful Cades Cove video!! Wish I was there riding with you. I've had to put "pedal assist" on my 3 trikes because of my bad knees but I still ride 50 to 100 miles a week. thanks Ed for another wonderful visit to that beautiful place. I figured you were making so many "leaf canopies " that you don't have time to ride. Good to have you back buddy~~~

Bob, you're not very far off the mark............, business has not slowed nor has the subtle improvements and upgrades. Hard to imagine that canopy #150 could be interchanged with #001 (I recently refurbished #007 so even though the fabric color changed, it's still #007 (Bond is the name...., James Bond!. Like most 'artists' over the last few years, the flow of creative juices has been more akin to a trickle of waste water. Thanks for the encouragement.

@@LogNotching Keep it up buddy and ride when you can. Always love your vids.

[@SFCRambo60]

It is really nice to see some more of your videos. Miss your travels, take care.

[@LogNotching]

Hiding under rock is not my idea of having fun. Maybe I'll put some more stuff (lots of it!) out there. I really appreciate the kindness; thanks.

[@tlsnana9539]

You’re back! The sweet fawn hiding around 4:05!! You passed it so quickly, made me wonder if you missed it. Thank you for the pleasant trip. 😊

[@VirtualEchobolt]

You have your trike set up really nice man,,,,enjoyed the video

[@Al-thecarhistorian]

Have missed seeing your videos. I've watched you from the beginning. You inspired me to purchase a recumbent tadpole trike. I did so in 2016 and could not be happier with my decision.

[@LogNotching]

I'm happy for you Al. I take great satisfaction in knowing that these trikes can provide a new lease on life but when I hear it from others my passion to keep going is refueled. Let's ride!

[@Landradler]

Yeah, finally another trike video with ed in cades cove. Love it.

[@LogNotching]

A knee is being lifted off my neck! Three years is a long time to hold your breath!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for hanging around.

[@billfearheller4179]

The best view of a bear..the unobstructed view of his rear end.. Good to see you. Be well and stay safe, bf

[@daviddickmeyer5231]

Looks like a beautiful place to ride Ed! I took the GT 20 out for a 20 mile ride yesterday. It looks looks like that toe-in adjustment cured all of my vibration issues. I guess I’ll keep it now. Maybe a new canopy is in order, what do you think? 😆. It would certainly give me a good reason to come down and ride with you!

[@LogNotching]

And/or, I have a canopy to install near Westfield (N of Indy). How bout, install in one place and tweak in the other? Thanks (again) for watching....... again.

[@daviddickmeyer5231]

LogNotching. Ed, the current canopy I have is on the Catrike in Arizona. If you remember I was talking about trading the Greenspeed for maybe a Catrike Dumont. But now that the Greenspeed GT 20 seems to be tuned up and riding ok I suppose is would be more penny wise to keep it and put a new canopy on it. When are you heading to Westfield?

[@LogNotching]

@@daviddickmeyer5231 To update our conversation regarding the Dumont, at present I feel that because there is no properly designed* pannier rack as a Catrike option, I'd prefer to not sell a canopy for that model. Putting a canopy on the GreenSpeed would be a piece of cake. No schedule for travels; sometimes I just get-up-and-go to get out of the office but we can better stay in touch with emails. Have a nice day *I have (3) canopies on Dumont's but I can't advance the mediocre performance of the canopy because the rear suspension amplifies the movement of the canopy beyond levels of acceptability.
