In the 30's Francís Fauré made to race against UCI's in velodrome that landed him the fastest for 40+ miles per hour. Union Ciclisté Internacionale aka UCI, had doubt of Fauré's speed record. Then ban all Recumbents in road racing.
@@vladimir_specbike I've seen one recumbent in the 70s in Philippines where I was born. But didn't manage to pay attention to it. After 15 years of owning a Univega racer...finally rediscovered the bents in 1995. Then 1996 my first commuter SWB is ATP Vision R40 USS. 2024+ kept Tour Easy and Rans Rocket plus an #elliptiG0 stand up elliptical road bike. ru-vid.comu_8NiGF0oS8?si=6tQgzLrHfJ0pGJ93
Bents lessen having us prostate problems later in life. Am using various bents since 1996 till 2024+ some are sold, trade and swap. My favorite on LWB is • Tour Easy - no longer in business • Rans Rocket - no longer in business
Excellent motorbike sound ! 😄 This video seems my video on my recumbent bike, except it is not a high racer and my position is less horizontal. What is your model ?
If you may cut-out a one-inch thick yoga mat to make room for your spine down to coxxycs may alleviate any discomfort along the way. I replaced my 3" thick foam seat on Rans Rocket onto yoga mat makes it low and comfortable then tilt the backrest to 40⁰ angle added more torque plus fish-like tail and aero disc (corrugated plastics). It's on my recent blogs.
Made mine for the grand total of £ 450 and that was buying a frame .Next time it will be sub £ 100 easily . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TD1ifFYhUE8.html
Since 1996 till present year 2024+ only bought 3 brand new bents. The rest are either trade or swap or on garage sale. • 1996 ATP Vision SWB $1,095 • 2011 Optima Baron $1,800 • 2021 Lightning R-84 CF $900 @ Offerup new in box but swap on new Catrike 700c in Craigslist.
@@DwAboutItManFr This is impossible, I cross the start line with about 30 minutes delay, which means that the first in line have a handicap of 30 minutes. Professional young athletes who easily give out 1 kW are the first to start, I cannot compete with them, I am old and will not train every day. To catch up them, I need to use a motorcycle.
@@DwAboutItManFr I don't think so. 30 minutes of handicap for a race for 1.5 hours is a lot. many participants and often there is no space for overtaking
