Battle Mountain Nevada's World Human Powered Speed Challenge attracts bike designers worldwide every year. These creative builder/racers bring their best designs to this 5 mile section of desert road vying for speeds of 70, 80 or even 90 miles per hour. We look in on one of these teams in the UK working on their "Seventy-seven" project. Russell Bridge and Barney Harle lay out the history and progress of their bullet shaped streamliner which they hope to race to glory at this event. Tray and I will update their story when we see them in person at Battle Mountain next month!
Next it's on to Orlando, Florida where we meet up with George. He has made some amazing coroplast bodies for his ICE Adventure and HPV Scorpion trikes. He'll explain the how and why of his years long obsession with these artistic plastic fairings. Then Nina shows off her latest bent acquisition: a laidback gravel grinder!
​Honza will join us for the bent news and we'll finish up with a patriotic parade in our Viewer Submission segment.
