Agatha and Piotr

Yes, they are from Poland. Yes, they cycle together. Yes, she is disabled. As you see on the picture, Piotr is the only one who really pedal and Agatha is siting in her beautiful suspensioned trailer. Right now, they are on their trip from polish Wroclaw to Wien (A) and through Bratislava (SK) and Brno (CZ) back to Wroclaw. Thay would like to cycle all this 1000 km long trip in about 18 days. Their main motivation is to show, that life with disabled people can be so full of experiences, full of enjoyable moments, full of adventures. They want to show that disabled people can also live as “abled” people as same as you and me.

On their trip, they are using a Velokraft trike and specialy made trailer.

K24 is pretty known race of single riders in the Czech Republic. Not many racers really races against each others or to win. It is mainly races where the main rival is the racer himself. It is a race where every and each rider has an idea or/and dream of how many kilometers he/she would like to manage. This year the start was on Friday (June 20th) in Ujezd u Brna at 4 p.m. The finish was after complete 24 hours.

There were also several recumbent riders as each year. We could see some homebuild recumbents, two Greenspeed trikes, the prototype of AZUB Highracer and some other models from AZUB, which is not surprise, because AZUB is a Czech company.

There were two fastest recumbents. One was riden by Jiri Hebeda and the other one by Jan-Friedrich Köhle. They both manage 397,6 km.

We have to say that this video has made a huge smile on our faces. At least the first part, when you expect “something” and you do not really know what. And than, the accident with “uhhhh” sound. Great. I think that the sentence: “..you actualy see something…” Is one of those you usualy use for promoting recumbents. I am right?

Enjoy!
