Recumbent trike vs bike uphill and downhill 20 mile Ride

[@richardavery2422]

Thanks for this video . I am a youngish 57 year old , I have been riding diamond frame bikes for years . Recently ( The last few years ) the lower back and hip have began giving me some issues with comfort . I bought an electric bike last August . I wanted the added assistance for the hills around me , and for the possibility of again being able to ride more then 20 - 30 mins . Well , while I am enjoying the new " Luxury" . I still don't ride for long . I'm now saving every nickel I can for a recumbent electric assist ride . A few variables / restriction possibilities are complicating just which one . I'm only 5'2 , and there doesn't seem to be a nearby dealer . The height I cant change , lol . And for now , I'll keep looking at videos and educate myself more . Again , TY for the informative videos .

Great ride, video and super editing. That rear view camera is super. People,don’t realize how far and fast we can ride on our trikes. Just now by folks and go for miles. Hill climbing is great, too as they re so stable compared to the conventional two wheelers. Glad you,are still having good weather. Getting pretty cold up here in New England. Early ride tomorrow. Going to be high temp of 36!

Very nice trail ride, I enjoyed it very much. Are you sure you are not just a glamorized cameraman for your cousin? LOL! While watching this video I was thinking you might put a camera on your cousins bike to watch you ride for awhile. Just a thought. Like the music and also I believe you are getting a lot better with the videos, great work. Stay safe and ride as long as you can.

George, find the right downhill and that vtx could easily break 50 mph (Just don't tell your wife LOL)

Hey George, do your riding buddies ever say, "Get off that thing and let me try!"

[@themotivatedrider3840]

No, he like to tease me about laying down and not working hard.lol

Autumn is one of the loveliest times of year. What with all of the colors and cool temps; sensually pleasing to both sight & sound. Love your Intro & Outro. How you window-shade the tri-frame split screen is a vast improvement and a much needed branding and personalizing addition. A thought, if you don't mind. Limit the Intro to just you riding into the camera's view - you know "IN", and the reverse for the Outro. A prevalent issue, the "commentary" audio level. It's half (1/2) the background music's. Adjusting my listening audio level to best hear your background music makes your commentary audio whisper quiet, almost inaudible. Boost the mic level during recording or editing, or move closer to the mic. Have you given any consideration to "time-lapsing" the, excuse me, monotonous/unvarying sections? Or even jumping to the forward view - we could see certain noteworthy scenes both coming and going. You might even zone/zoom in on certain scenes. Like your bud's or other's face/bike. Heck. Maybe even a dog or other interesting animal (geese, ducks, birds, deer, etc.) or trees or flowers just to help break up the monotony. When you ride, do you unswervingly just look forward. Or, do you turn your gaze to relish the things that grab your attention. Well, we the viewer would also like that. We'd like to "experience" the ride as you did. I know you're out for the exercise. I, too, enjoy triking, It's both relaxing and rewarding. But, remember. You are trying to document your rides, experiences. But don't make it a TV News documentary. Add some life. Try to make each of your rides more of a true video production. Plan ahead. Use multiple cameras, forward, aft, side. . . Wide angle, telephoto, 360. (360s provide a myriad of possibilities when it comes to editing time. Like changing point of view, image stabilization, panning on a subject, and more). Yes. It'll mean more time in post production. But, your videos will be better and your channel will grow and thrive. Just a couple of ideas that may or may not be relevant. Keep on triking But most of all, Stay Safe

@@themotivatedrider3840 Checkout these guys' channel, Bikes, Trikes & Razors (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGaXdax9iZKKaKM). They've done some good filming & editing. Notice camera angle/shots from both guys & how they've spliced them together. Maybe your bud could use a helmet cam & get video of you & others along the path
