Gary, Excellent interview with Jan, thank you for this and all of the great work you do for the recumbent bikers and trikers. The BULK is a very intriguing machine.
I just want to clarify that my test riders that did not fit were because they had very long legs and very big feet. I haven’t had one with a shoulder fit issue and definitely not a belly fit issue 😂
he wants to make sure people know it's a bicycle and yet he puts on a sticker that says muscle car. That's not helping, especially for the American audience :p
I will be getting mine with that decal, because I think it does appeal to people who understand that gas guzzlers have nothing to do with muscle. This is the real muscle car, and I doubt that people who like gas guzzlers over HPV's are our target audience.
I agree with you to some extent, it might have been better this way: Bülk: the Real Muscle Bike. I have a feeling Americans will get the reference to the word Muscle Car still. I also like the No Motor stickers some velonauts in the USA put on their bikes. The point is: it really is bike and not a car.
There are a few different slogans ambassadors can pick. Several of us in the US chose Pure Pedal Power instead. I see Saukki has chosen this slogan as well. The Real muscle car is cool, but only if you already know that it is a bicycle.
