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

Laidback Bike Report

Greenspeed'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've edited Chuck Coyne'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's sports segment features John McWhae who just completed a record making ride across Alberta in spite of his battle with arthritis.
