Legal Labyrinth of Riding Recumbent in America!

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. *Clickable Table of Contents for this month’s video* 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:50 What’s on Today’s Show 00:02:48 Panel Introduction 00:06:20 Sponsor Introduction 00:07:50 Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla 00:16:10 Doug Davis-Legal Labyrinth of Riding Recumbent in America 00:21:27 Legal Expert-Steven Hansen 00:40:15 Legal Expert-Charlie Thomas 00:48:54 Legal Expert-Steve Magas 00:58:40 Doug Davis-Summary and what our viewers can do to help 01:15:30 Advice for Buying/Selling your Bent-Ferg FB Recumbent Trikes & Bikes Classified 01:23:30 Best Advice for Buying and Selling your Bent-Steve Wood FB Recumbent Classifieds 01:33:00 Best Advice for Buying and Selling your Bent-Larry Varney BentRider Online 01:43:08 Review Team-TerraTrike Spyder and ATC trikes-Larry Varney 01:55:10 Peter Stull stuffs two Performer trikes and more in a van. 02:00:20 Denny Voorhees-Sports Report 02:03:00 Sponsor Thanks 02:04:40 Coming up next month 02:05:38 Goodbye to panel and crew Please subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook   / laidbackbikereport   if you haven't already done so.
