Velotilt-Lean into those Turns!
Mike Lecka is a serious velomobile designer from North Carolina. He tells me he's always been so hard working that he "quit school because of recess"! Check him out yourself as we chat about his latest project called Velotilt-an original Dutch designed tilting velomobile which he has taken over from designer and founder Wim Schermer and plans to develop commercially. We begin with a presentation by Wim on the original project concept from Holland and then Mike will take us through his many upgrades and design updates he has in mind. Helping us with this discussion will be Recumbents.com owner Warren Beauchamp and our own Doug Davis. In addition Tray Bourgoyne updates us on Randy Ridings who is on the last leg of his amphibious Trans-Am journey in his Quadyak. Larry Seidman has a report on bent participants in the recent Nebraska Senior Games and we finish up with viewer submissions which include updating an old Rans Rocket in South Africa and a clever home built trike/bike rack on wheels on the cheap. *Clickable Table of Contents for this month’s video* 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:59 What’s on Today’s Show 00:03:00 Panel Introduction 00:05:30 Sponsor Introduction 00:06:55 Randy Ridings Quadyak Trans-Am update with Tray Bourgoyne 00:13:40 Velotilt tilting trike-Origins with Wim Schermer 00:48:11 Velotilt tilting trike-Coming to America with Mike Lecka 01:26:43 Nebraska Senior Games 2020 with Larry Seidman 01:30:40 Sponsor Thanks 01:32:00 Viewer Submission-Ferg builds a Bike/Trike rack for 4 01:33:10 Viewer Submission-Derek Pirie reclaims an old Rans Rocket in South Africa 01:35:09 Viewer Submission-Brad Albee raising money for diabetes 01:36:40 Announcements-BentCon 2020 01:38:45 Coming up next month 01:39:29 How you can support the Laidback Bike Report Please subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook / laidbackbikereport if you haven't already done so.
