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&apos;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&apos;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&apos;t already done so.

Bents Take to the Sky!

We&apos;re excited to have Dr. Craig Cornelius with us to take a wider look at tilting trikes. We&apos;ve had quite a few tilters on the webcast over the last few months so I&apos;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&apos;t already done so.

Tilting Trikes-What's the Point?

Greenspeed&apos;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&apos;ve edited Chuck Coyne&apos;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&apos;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&apos;t already done so.

Trike Race Across Michigan-Unassisted Aero vs E-assisted Magnum!

Ron Thompson is a retired mechanical engineer. He&apos;s built a 2 wheeled bent he believes is the 4th major breakthrough in bicycle design. That&apos;s a lofty assessment but you owe it to yourself to hear him out. The ability to recruit supplemental hand power on a recumbent bike is the intriguing innovation he&apos;ll discuss with us today. The sale of Bacchetta Cycles was in the news since our last webcast. We have former CEO Mark Swanson and new owner Dana Lieberman with us for interviews. Along with the rest of the recumbent news is Honza Galla.The LBR Review Team is back with Peter Stull doing a review of the Greenspeed Magnum BW and Larry Varney evaluating the Steintrike Wild One.Nina Paley follows with her experience buying and upgrading a used Calfee Stilletto.00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:02:30  Panel Introduction00:05:22  Sponsor Introduction00:07:20  Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:13:30  Mark Swanson former CEO of Bacchetta Cycles00:24:00  Dana Lieberman of Bent Up Cycles new owner of Bacchetta Cycles01:26:16  Review Team-Greenspeed Magnum BW with Peter Stull01:38:23  Review Team-Steintrike Wild One with Larry Varney01:21:25  LBR Review Team-HP Velotechnik fs eScorpion 20 reviewed by Tim Segard01:52:00  Nina Paley with her Calfee Stiletto rap and update01:58:40  Sponsor Thanks02:00:12  Announcement02:01:00  Coming up next month02:02:15  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&apos;t already done so.

The G4 Bicycle-Upright Power on a Bent?

Today we literally get into the weeds with our Italian bent builder Marco Ruga. He has created an amazing off road long wheel base recumbent and will show us how he did it and where he rides it. Then Englishman Alex du Pre (who is a naval engineer) reveals his first recumbent design. A tilting trike/velomobile made initially out of wood. We have two introductory reports: first from TerraTrike on their new GTS touring trike and then Jonathan Garcia is back with the brand new Metabike Mystique. Doug is returns with another gonzo bent road fix and we have two new Review Team segments: Joseph Janning from Germany talks about velomobile wheels and Mickey O&apos;Brien from Laid Back Cycles in California reviews the ICE Adventure trike.

Amazing New Bent Builds

We all want to make sure our recumbent purchase transactions are transparent, honest and fair. We talk to Steve and Patti Erickson about their years long investigation into false prestige branding of recumbent trikes. Then Doug Davis shows us how to recognize "knock off" products that look just like the brands you know. Our panel then share their considerable experience with buying and selling bent with eyes wide open. Jonathan Garcia jumps in next with his first look at the ePhoenix 406 LWB from RANS that he helped design. We have two great LBR Review Team segments next. Tim Segard from Bent Revolution evaluates the HP Velotechnik e-Scorpion 20fs and Nina Paley shows us why sunblocks suck!

Avoiding Bent Scams

Jason Dubin has been hit by cars while riding his recumbent bikes and velomobiles in the streets of New York city many times. He joins us to share video and commentary of 3 of these horrifying collisions and talk about his personal safety. Then we widen the discussion with Steve Magas "Ohio&apos;s Bike Lawyer" and our panel to put bent safety into some context and search out the best way for us all to avoid becoming another sad roadside statistic.

The Impact of Bent Collisions

Among the very few prominent recumbent groups around the world precious few can boast of the long history of racing and designing bents as can the British Human Power Club. We&apos;ll chat with club officers Alan Goodman, Barney Harle and Chris Hamilton about their full racing seasons (including the World HPV Championships), member&apos;s unusual HPV builds and the early group history with founding member Dave Larrington. Also Dave Ashenbrener returns with an update on his "Lost Recumbent" AR-3 tilting trike which he has now produced and is available to purchase.

"The Wild One"-Steintrike's Robert Stein

Creating a tilting trike in the early 1980s was anything but mainstream. Our guest for this podcast is David Ashenbrener. David will tell us his tale of designing such a recumbent and getting noticed enough to be published in Popular Science magazine in 1982. From there we talk about how he mysteriously lost track of his invention and its design for almost 40 years before resurrecting it this year with hopes of bringing it to market. Honza Galla will join us with the latest Recumbent News and Nina Paley our resident "Retro-Futurist" begins her new segment looking back at the Bicycle of the Future.**Table of Contents for this month’s video**00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:01:36  Panel Introduction00:04:45  Sponsor Introduction00:05:45  Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:11:15  “The Lost Recumbent” Tilting Trike with David Ashenbrener  01:17:40  The “Bicycle of the Future” with retro-futurist Nina Paley01:24:40  Nina Paley shows her contemporaneous LBR drawing01:28:25  Sponsor Thanks01:29:45  Coming up next month01:30:00  How you can support the Laidback Bike ReportPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven&apos;t already done so.

Bent Accessories and Resources-BentCon 2020

Pedaling a futuristic looking bicycle down a remote stretch of state highway in 2016 Todd Reichert whooshed his way into the record books. After 5 miles of vein popping effort he crossed the finish line in Battle Mountain, Nevada at 89.59 mph creating a new world human powered mark that stands to this day. As with so many other events the World Human Powered Speed Challenge (WHPSC) which is held in the desert each year was sadly cancelled for 2020. In it&apos;s place a group of racers and officials has offered a week long virtual event that anyone can participate in. This led to a request to bring all these folks together on the Laidback Bike Report to celebrate the virtual event and the amazing history of the real life Battle Mountain race.In this webcast my co-host and pal Arnold Ligtvoet will start the show with a quick rundown of the virtual event and it&apos;s participants. Then we will move on to a wide ranging discussion and  detailed look at the WHPSC from past to present with some  big names in HPV racing circles. Included in our panel are: Dr, Paolo Baldissera and his student Lucrezia from Team Policumbent from Italy. Renowned builders and racers Larry Lem and Mike Mowett. World record holder Dr. Todd Reichert  from the University of Toronto will share his thoughts and Lander County Tourism Board representative Paula Tomera will talk about what this event means to the locals and the big changes they&apos;re making for the future.**Clickable Table of Contents for this month’s video**00:00:00  Intro00:00:54  What’s on Today’s Show00:01:15  Panel Introduction00:03:46  Sponsor Introduction00:04:45  Arnold introduces Battle Mountain and the WHPSC00:11:55  Arnold explains the 2020 Virtual World Human Powered Speed Challenge00:18:42  Battle Mountain Main Discussion00:21:40  Panel Introduction00:23:50  History of Battle Mountain with Larry Lem and Arnold00:26:00  The Battle Mountain town plays a big part in the WHPSC-Paula Tomera00:28:20  The Race Course and Rules of the event with Larry Lem00:37:30  The People and the Bikes of Battle Mountain with Paolo, Larry and Todd01:10:30  Students Building Streamliners for Battle Mountain with Lucrezia of Team Policumbent01:19:20  Todd Reichert talks about riding fastest enough to be the world’s fastest human01:40:20  Sargent Arthur Aten of the Nevada Highway Patrol warns the racers 01:42:00  Law enforcement interaction at Battle Mountain01:45:35  The Records set at Battle Mountain with Mike Mowett01:59:25  What are the limits of human powered speed?-Paolo, Mike and Todd02:01:00  The Future of Battle Mountain Racing-A new track?02:06:25  Sponsor Thanks02:06:55  Coming up next month02:07:20  How you can support the Laidback Bike ReportPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven&apos;t already done so.
