1st Velomobile in China Stopped by Police!
|
|
Joerg Gebers is a German working and living in Shanghai, China. He imported what he reckons are the first two velomobiles into China in hopes of commuting to work and eventually riding them through Asia and back to Europe. After a few weeks of tooling around Shanghai streets without incident in his Quattrovelo he was suddenly stopped by police and had his cherished velomobile impounded. He believes it is all a misunderstanding but the story has blossomed online and there are many pictures and videos of him taken by Chinese bystanders. In this video Doug Davis and Gary Solomon have the opportunity to engage Joerg in an online interview from China and give him the chance to set the record straight on this story. The interview was conducted live on Thursday, July 9th, 2020.

We kick off with Joerg Gebers who was riding his Quattrovelo (we believe it's the 1st velo in China) in Shanghai. He was stopped by police, ticketed, fined and had his velomobile confiscated. Next up is Fabrizio Cross the builder of the Electrom. This recumbent bike has a creative new e-assist motor design and lots of cargo space with all weather protection for the rider. Returning to the show after a 5 year hiatus is our pal Shelly Mossey. He now owns Rolling Orange bike tours and recumbent shop in New York City. Finally, we welcome recumbent advocate extraordinaire Jane Knight. Jane is well known for her work on the HOT Rally, Texas Recumbent Riders and pushing for allowing bents in Senior Games around the country. Also known as the "go to" person on social media women's groups she will talk about bent riding issues especially those impacting female riders.
