latest Special Report videos
Innertuba and the bents of ragbrai
|
|
Tubas, trikes and trailers along with hundreds of other bent riders can be seen in this video premiering on YouTube Friday, August 2nd at 8 pm EDT right here: https://youtu.be/vxiFsPjKABs. All shot last week when the Laidback Bike Report visited Iowa. Thanks to Dave Hendricks at Connecticut Yankee Pedaller, Inc. for sponsoring this video and Loud Mouth Brass for providing the great musical backdrop.
Please join us on Live Chat tomorrow night at 8. I'll be there along with Jon Hodkin (hopefully) and perhaps some members of Loud Mouth Brass. If you rode RAGBRAI on a bent perhaps you will spot yourself flying down a hill! |

Peter Stull is the Bicycle Man known far and wide as a top recumbent biking guru. We made the trip to Alfred Station, New York to see his shop for ourselves and find out more about Peter's history and the famous bent museum housed therein. We take a tour of his showroom, warehouse and the manufacturing facilities where Linear Bikes are made. We learn about his Avenue Trikes and put them through their paces on a test ride over local roads. Lastly, Peter puts on a full clinic covering adaptive triking with Phil Paulsen.
Kelvin Clark has been a part of the recumbent scene since the 1980s. He started his Colorado bent shop in 1993 and we visited him and his amazing crew at Angletech in Colorado Springs in January. We sit down (on trikes of course!) to chat about bent history, the historic bikes hanging in the shop, his philosophy for helping folks find the right bent, all the ways Angletech is unique including how it is built and decorated, why you have to like humans to work there and how this all comes down to "Cycle Different". Kelvin then gives us a full shop tour including a look at much of what he stocks. You'll meet slightly off balance store manager Josiah, the revered store mechanic Kirk and hear how they all work together to form the perfect customer-centered team. Thanks to videographer Larry Seidman for stepping in and helping me out on this shoot.
