#Recumbent News Turns 5

"In May 2020, during the very first lockdown, I found myself kind of trapped in our 200+ year old wooden cottage in the hills near the Czech-Slovak border. With my family, surrounded by trees, and a bit more time than usual, I finally took the plunge into something I’d been thinking about for years: creating a dedicated recumbent magazine..."

I debated whether to post this because there's a little gun and hunting talk that might be problematic for some.

However, I think the information on the different accessories, like crutch holders, that they're using is worth posting. This is definitely not for every disabled person - I estimate this quad probably ran $17K.

This model comes standard without pedals, but can be pedaled as an option.

@keraba I definitely imagine there are environments it cannot work well in. However, at least where uncovered trikes are concerned, the tadpole design is more stable. It's the delta design that runs a huge risk of tipping in turns, in my experience. #Recumbent

I think I can officially declare that I'm a cyclist again!

I used to ride an upright bike for commuting to/from transit, but got out of the habit when I did more car commuting five years ago. I donated my bike to the local community bike group so it could be refurbished and go to good use.

I'm not going back to commuting to transit, but wanted to do more exercise so I invested into a Catrike Dumont which is a recumbent tadpole trike.

If we want to get people out of cars, esp gas cars, old guard macho ableist cycling culture has got to unlearn their ableism and other toxic crap.

If people want a covered bike/trike/quad with e-assist, you should be happy they are going car-light or car-free! Be supportive!

It is a real frontier period in micromobility so there are still things to work out as far as infrastructure, rules, etiquette, etc. but we'll do better if we work together #Spezi2025 #Recumbent #BikeTooter #ClimateChange
