South African Border War veteran Stan Potgieter suffered severe injuries both physical and psychological in the 1980s. He has struggled ever since to regain the promise of a healthy and settled life. Stan talks to us about his continuing attempts to overcome PTSD as well as leg and back problems. He is now doing so by riding a custom trike derived from a friend's idea for a motorized golf trike called the Tadhole. Stan is dreaming big as he hopes to join in a ride with  veterans in America from coast to coast raising awareness of veterans issues everywhere.Travels by Trike's Sylvia Halpern is back with us to lay out the details of her impending solo trike ride across the USA with a newly updated Myrtle. She is joined by Heiko Truppel from HP Velotechnik in Germany to talk about their support for her including a new frame for Myrtle. We'll find out how you can follow her intrepid journey and even join her ride when she comes to your town.Terracycle has long been known and loved as a quality supplier of accessories for recumbent bikes and trikes. Pat Franz has been the face and is the founder of the company since the mid 90s. He recently announced his retirement and the transition of the company's leadership to the younger but well experienced crew members Quintin Pruett and Caz Covert-Keefe. We sit down with all three of them and talk about the past, present and future of this venerable organization.00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:04:55  Panel Introduction00:04:47  Sponsor Introduction00:07:02  Stan Potgieter-Tadhole Trike and South African Veteran’s Dream00:51:20  Sylvia Halpern kicks off her Route 66 Trans American Trike Tour (with Heiko Truppel from HP)01:20:50  TerraCycle’s leadership transition01:51:35  RideSouth recumbent shop looking for new owner01:56:00  Sponsor Thanks01:58:12  Announcements02:00:15  Goodbye to panel and crew*Guest Links*--Stan Potgieter  stanbiltkitchens9@gmail.com  Wear it for the Wounded  https://www.facebook.com/groups/534490074600046/--Sylvia Halpern  Travels by Trike YouTube channel  https://www.youtube.com/@TravelsByTrike  Email sylvia.halpern@gmail.com--TerraCycle    https://t-cycle.com/--RideSouth   Call Jim at 601-291-1004 or email oneoak@me.comPlease subscribe to us on YouTube (https://goo.gl/CHOOgX) and Like us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/) if you haven't already done so. Lot's more info and you can also buy a hat on our website: https://www.laidbackbikereport.com/.We would love to have you as a Patreon Patron where you can support all we do for as little as $1/month.

Filling this need since the mid 90s has been the Dutch company Radical Design. We talk to owner Kyra Ottens and product designer Roman Schaffroth to discuss the history, products and how those amazing bags are designed and manufactured.As the northern hemisphere plunges headlong into the winter season we thought it was the perfect time to have a look at best practices for bent riding in cold weather. Who better to help us than former Hostel Shoppe mechanic Scott Christopherson? Scott still lives in northern Wisconsin and tells us how he prepares for triking in snow and ice. Denny updates us on some cancelled ultra races and shares a couple more bent friendly ones that are coming up. Honza joins us with the latest recumbent news and we have a sad viewer submission where you can help a family with a no longer needed child's hand trike.Support the show

Ron Thompson is a mechanical engineer who has devoted considerable time working on this issue. He has designed, built and raced the Generation 4 (G4) recumbent bike. This work has encouraged him to conduct a scientific speed trial of 10 bike configurations both bent and upright to determine what can be learned about their inherent benefits and drawbacks. I was contacted by Jared Parseghian about his company Parbikes. They sell side-by-side recumbent tandem quadricycles. He invited my wife and me up to Toledo, Ohio for a look and a quick test ride on a beautiful autumn morning. We are veteran bent tandem riders but this was our first time pedaling right next to one another. Nina Paley was our guest at the LBR booth at Cycle-Con 2022. She took advantage by test riding everything she could get seat time on. Denny Voorhees grabbed a trike and our 360 camera to accompany her on Friday afternoon. Nina gives us her thoughts about riding the Carver Ti-Glide, Steintrike Wild One and the HASE Kettwiesel.Lastly, we have a viewer submission from Shawn Greener a US military vet. We see excerpts of his YouTube video from the Honor the Warriors annual ride in Charlotte, NC.Support the show

Caleb Cline was hurt leading his Army unit in a training exercise. We feel  privileged to sit down with him to talk about his long road back to mental and physical health. That road included riding his trike to 10 new world records last April. Next we check in with our old pal AD Carson, founder of Recycled Recumbents. AD tells us about his show room rehab projects, the state of 2 wheeled bents, advice to families for disposal of your bents from the estate and his latest tour. Then we move on to Tray Bourgoyne's workshop where he shows us how to clean bike parts with ultrasound  and some trike wheel maintenance. Larry Ploetz returns this month to inform us on best practices for velomobile touring and upkeep. We'll finish off with sports news on the significant bent participation in the recent National Senior Games. Plus a bonus video from Honza and Matt Galat announcing the new collaboration between AZUB and the Ja Yoe Nation YouTube channel.00:00:00  Intro00:00:57  What’s on Today’s Show00:03:12  Panel Introduction00:05:50  Sponsor Introduction00:08:18  Recumbent News with Honza Galla00:22:20  Caleb Cline-West Point Grad Breaks 10 World Records on Trike00:50:24  AD Carson-Recycled Recumbents/Showroom/Estate Sales of Bents01:25:25  Larry Ploetz-Velo Touring and Mechanical Fixes02:01:08  Tray’s Workshop-Catrike wheel maintenance02:07:34  Sports Report-Larry Seidman talks about National Senior Games 202202:14:50  Sponsor Thanks02:17:15  Coming up next month02:18:05  Goodbye to panel and crewYouTube: https://goo.gl/CHOOgX Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport  Website: https://www.laidbackbikereport.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/laidbackbikereport**Viewer Submissions or Questions**Send to laidbackbikereport@gmail.com*Thanks to these wonderful sponsors*TerraCycle  https://t-cycle.com/  800-371-5871Trailside Trikes  https://trailside.bike/  352-419-4809TerraTrike/Greenspeed https://wizwheelz.com/  800-945-9910Laidback Cycles https://laidbackcycles.com/   916-619-1003Connecticut Yankee Pedaller http://www.cypbikes.com/  641-774-5557Bicycle Man https://bicycleman.com/ 607-587-8835AZUB https://azub.eu/  RecumbentPDX https://recumbentpdx.com/  (503) 231-1000Eco Cycles https://www.eco-ebike.com/ (833) 693-2453Matt Galat  https://www.youtube.com/c/JaYoeNationCaleb Cline https://www.facebook.com/caleb.cline.14AD Carson Recycled Recumbents  https://sites.google.com/site/recycledrecumbents/Larry Ploetz  lploetz1@gmail.comTray Bourgoyne  Tray@netdoor.com*LBR Crew Links*-Recumbent News-online news website by Honza Galla  https://www.recumbent.news/-BentRider/Larry Varney  http://www.bentrideronline.com/-Doug Davis Bicycle Evolution  https://www.bicycle-evolution.com/-Nina Paley’s Links-Nina’s blog  https://blog.ninapaley.com/-Nina’s bike merchandise  http://www.palegraylabs.com/other-stuff-1/protective-bicycle-amulet-Peter Stull  https://bicycleman.com/-Josef Janning  https://www.facebook.com/josef.janning-Tim Segard https://www.bentrevolution.com/**The absolute best archive of early recumbent history is Recumbent Cyclist News**  Find years of publisher Bob Bryant’s hard work here:  https://rcnpdf.com/Support the show

Nicola dreamed of touring Africa since he was a little boy in Italy. In 2018 he began touring near the western coast on his wide tired AZUB trike and trailer. Along the way he met amazing and generous people who gave him food and shelter. Then in early 2019 he ignored the warnings of local officials and rode off on the road to Timbuktu. Then next thing he knew he was looking at automatic weapons pointed at his face. He was blindfolded and abducted via motorcycle. Thus began his nearly 2 year captivity ordeal. We learn about it all and find out how this experience has changed him.Next we talk to Daniele Gonano from France. I met him a few years ago at a German Spezi event. He was displaying his solar powered tilting trike at the "Inventors Tent". Daniele is a veteran of the 6500 mile annual Sun Trip tour which includes riders of solar powered e-bikes riding across Europe and Asia. We'll hear about all that and his latest project-a tilting velomobile.Of course we'll have our news director Honza Galla with the latest in recumbent activities, our Review Team member Tim Segard has a look at the HP Velotechnik Streetmachine bicycle and Peter Stull will share his thoughts about the historic Pharobike Low Fat low racer by Dan Duchaine. 00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:02:55  Panel Introduction00:07:50  Sponsor Introduction00:10:10  Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:13:35  Josef Janning/Honza/Doug discussion about Drymer 00:24:00  Nicola Chiacchio-World Trike Tourer Kidnapped Mali 01:13:00  Daniele Gonano-Solar Trip/Tilting Trike Design/Tilting Velomobile Build01:47:45  LBR Review Team-Tim Segard close look at the HP Velotechnik Streetmachine01:56:10  Peter Stull talks about the Classic 2 Wheel Bent called Pharobike Low Fat02:01:00  Pharobike/Dan Duchaine Discussion02:06:20  Sponsor Thanks02:08:30  Coming up next month02:09:10  Goodbye to panelNicola Chiacchio -GoFundMe Campaign : https://gofund.me/abb05e2bDaniele Gonano- Website : https://gonano.eu/aerotiltSupport the show

Is it possible that you're illegally riding that Catrike, Terratrike. or even Cruzbike on the streets of America? It turns out to be a very difficult legal question fraught with insurance and financial implications. Doug Davis chats with legal experts Charlie Thomas, Steve Magas and Steven Hansen about laws excluding some 2, 3 or 4 wheeled bents from riding our roads. It's a real problem and makes touring a potential nightmare.  Next is a segment on the best approach to buying and selling a used bent. I talk to Chris Ferguson and Steve Wood who each moderate a popular Facebook classified group for recumbents. They and our own Larry Varney (representing BentRider Online Classifieds) will discuss all the dos and don'ts involved along with our very experienced panel. Also,Larry Varney and I were invited up to Grand Rapids, Michigan where we had two days to put the new Spyder-TerraTrike's speed machine-through its paces. If you had previously thought you'd never hear the words "TerraTrike" and "speed machine" in the same sentence watch on and be amazed.  Finally, we'll have Honza and Denny with the Recumbent News and Sports respectively.00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:02:48  Panel Introduction00:06:20  Sponsor Introduction00:07:50  Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:16:15  Doug Davis-Legal Labyrinth of Riding Recumbent in America00:21:27  Legal Expert-Steven Hansen00:40:15  Legal Expert-Charlie Thomas00:48:54  Legal Expert-Steve Magas00:58:40  Doug Davis-Summary and what our viewers can do to help01:15:35  Advice for Buying/Selling your Bent-Ferg FB Recumbent Trikes & Bikes Classified01:23:30  Best Advice for Buying and Selling your Bent-Steve Wood FB Recumbent Classifieds01:33:00  Best Advice for Buying and Selling your Bent-Larry Varney BentRider Online01:43:08  Review Team-TerraTrike Spyder and ATC trikes-Larry Varney01:55:10  Peter Stull stuffs two Performer trikes and more in a van.02:00:20  Denny Voorhees-Sports Report02:03:00  Sponsor Thanks02:04:40  Coming up next month02:05:38  Goodbye to panel and crew*Honza’s News Report Links*Hase Bikes  https://hasebikes.com/https://www.facebook.com/watch/operationgarderlecap/https://www.facebook.com/paltineanuhttps://www.facebook.com/zicho.huhttps://www.instagram.com/solarebike/https://www.facebook.com/4PointsAustralia/*Guest Links*Doug Davis links to “Legality of 3-4 Wheeled Bent” reference pagehttps://www.bicycle-evolution.com/index.php/the_wheels_of_regulation/Steven Hansen  https://www.swhlaw.com/Charlie Thomas  https://huberthomaslaw.com/about-us/our-attorneys/Steve Magas  https://www.ohiobikelawyer.com/*Buy and Sell Links*Facebook Recumbent Trikes & Bikes Classified  https://www.facebook.com/groups/848211398622353Facebook Recumbent Classifieds  https://www.facebook.com/groups/534973056586751BentRider/Larry Varney  http://www.bentrideronline.com/*LBR Review Team Links*https://www.terratrike.com/performance/spyder/*LBR Crew Links*Recumbent News-online news website by Honza Galla  https://www.recumbent.news/BentRider/Larry Varney  http://www.bentrideronline.com/Doug Davis Bicycle Evolution  https://www.bicycle-evolution.com/Nina Paley’s LinksNina’s blog  https://blog.ninapaley.com/Nina’s bike merchandise  http://www.palegraylabs.com/other-stuff-1/protective-bicycle-amuletPeter Stull  https://bicycleman.com/Josef Janning  https://www.facebook.com/josef.janning**Viewer Submissions or Questions**Send to laidbackbikereport@gmail.comSupport the show

Have you ever been rolling so fast on your bent that you imagined pulling back on the handlebars and taking to the skies? Today we talk about just that with our pal Barney Harle from the British Human Power (Flight) Club. He reports on the state of flying using only pedal power from his experience at the Icarus Cup event where competition pushes innovation of these flying machines.Next we visit with mechanical engineer and author Steve Nurse in Australia. Steve has written a wonderful book called "Cycle Zoo" which is mostly about recumbents and why you should be riding and maybe building your own. We have a few of Steve's books to give away during the webcast so join us live if you can!For our third featured guest we head back to the UK and meet Alex Baines-Buffery. Alex is just an ordinary guy wanting to build something comfortable and fast for fun and commuting. He'll introduce us to "Frank" a 2 wheeled wooden bent he created and share his thoughts on his results.From our regular panelists we have segments from Peter Stull folding a Linear bike into a Honda Odyssey and our velo guru Josef Janning shows how he uses a Radical Design trailer with his velomobiles.  Honza will be along with the recumbent news of the month as always.00:00:00  Intro00:00:43  What’s on Today’s Show00:03:00  Panel Introduction00:05:00  Sponsor Introduction00:06:40  Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:10:44  Barney Harle-Human Powered Flying in the UK00:38:45  Steve Nurse-Author of “Cycle Zoo”01:03:50  Alex Baines-Buffery-Building my own Frankenstein Bent01:25:12  Peter Stull-Folding a Linear Bike into a Honda Odyssey01:28:22  Josef Janning-The Radical Velomobile Trailer01:39:25  Sponsor Thanks01:41:08  Viewer Submissions-Jon Blumhagen’s WiFi Pedalers 2021 Mission POSSIBLE Tour01:44:06  Coming up next month01:45:10  Goodbye to panel and crewPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven't already done so.

We're excited to have Dr. Craig Cornelius with us to take a wider look at tilting trikes. We've had quite a few tilters on the webcast over the last few months so I've brought in an expert to share an overview/summary of this cutting edge engineering realm. Craig is the Principal Researcher at HPTS (Human Powered Transportation Systems) who has been involved in the design and development of prototype human-power assisted vehicles for commuting and recreation for over 40 years.Our other segments this month include Honza Galla with the news, Peter Stull with his suggestions for the optimum way for transporting your bent, Tim Segard reviewing the Cruzbike S40, and Nina Paley on her recent experience riding an e-assisted Greenspeed Magnum in Michigan.We finish up with lots of Sports. Denny will have Mike Mowett talking about the recent HPRA races in Waterford, Michigan, Larry Seidman talks about bent participation in the Nebraska Senior Games and bring us up to date on upcoming bent friendly events.**Table of Contents for this month’s video**00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:02:30  Panel Introduction00:04:10  Larry Varney joins us for his health update00:07:10  Sponsor Introduction00:08:50  Recumbent News with Honza Galla00:24:40  Dr. Craig Cornelius presents Designing and Comparing Tilting Trikes01:09:46  Discussion with Craig, Peter Stull and Honza Galla01:22:20  Peter Stull-How to transport your trike 01:28:55  Review Team-Tim Segard reviews the Cruzbike S4001:43:35  Sports Report w Denny Voorhees01:44:00  Mike Mowett reports on HPRA races at Waterford in MIchigan01:56:00  Larry Seidman reports on Nebraska Senior Games and Steamboat Triathalo 02:01:35  Denny wraps up the sports02:02:45  Sponsor Thanks02:04:30  Coming up next month02:06:00  Goodbye to panel and crewPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven't already done so.

Greenspeed's Aero is one of the fastest trikes on the road. They also make the more sedate but ever so utilitarian Magnum. What if we raced these two trikes across Michigan and evened the odds by adding a Bosch motor to the Magnum? Meet Wizwheelz executives Marshall and Mark who conducted such a contest this month and hear their exciting stories of this adventure. Also showing up for this jam packed webcast we have Honza with the recumbent news, Jason Dubin with his project to build and race velomobiles with New York City youth and then Ben Goodall owner of Trisled tells us about the newest update to the Rotovelo. With Recumbent Cycle-Con cancelled I've edited Chuck Coyne's interview to reflect the history of the event, Mark Lovegrove from the UK talks about his two e-assist motor installations, Larry Varney reviews the AR3 tilting trike and Denny's sports segment features John McWhae who just completed a record making ride across Alberta in spite of his battle with arthritis.**Table of Contents for this month’s video**00:00:00  Intro00:01:10  What’s on Today’s Show00:04:00  Panel Introduction00:06:45  Sponsor Introduction00:08:25  Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:11:00  Gary reads RCC postponement statement from Charles Coyne00:12:00  History and logistics of Recumbent Cycle-Con with Charles Coyne00:22:00  Panel discussion-RCC postponement with Honza, Denny, Larry and Gary00:31:40  Jason Dubin introduces NAVRA-building/racing velomobiles with young people00:42:00  Ben Goodall with new Rotovelo2 update00:56:45  Greenspeed Aero and Magnum race across Michigan01:16:10  Mark and Marshall from WizWheelz talk about current industry challenges 01:19:35  E-assist motor installs on two bikes by Mark Lovegrove01:29:12  Review Team-Larry Varney reviews AR3 tilting trike01:44:15  Sports Report-Denny interviews cross Alberta record holder John McWhae01:56:25  Sponsor Thanks01:58:10  Coming up next month01:59:15  Goodbye to panel and crewPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven't already done so.
