Recumbent-gallery.eu

We have found two very nice recumbent galleries on Flickr. These pictures were added by user called jalexartis.

One gallery shows his Catrike 700c and the other one Velokraft Vk2 in outstanding painting in US colors.

Enjoy!

This is a beautiful picture of M5 lowracer prepared for breaking a world one hour record. It is already some time since Aurélien Bonneteau broke it by 50,529 km on 15th May 2009 but we have found this picture right today and we think that it is really nice.

Just to mention that Aurélien trained only 5 months on recumbent. He was road race cyclist before. Real hero.

Let´s visit his page on aurelienbonneteau.free.fr (only in French)

I think that you have already red about this unbelivable weekend in US. During the Ford Human Powered Challenge couple of new world records has been set up. For us, two are the most important and visible. Man and woman one hour record.

Sam Whittingham (Canada) did 90,724 km

Barbara Buatois (France) 82.235 km

You can read more on Sam web page www.timetogetnaked.com or on official page of the race on www.recumbents.com

AZUB has alredy had a new web presentation on SPEZI with the domain www.azub.eu but they also added a blog which refers about bikes of their customers. Even in such a short time you can find many nice bikes there and also some stories. There was also a similar blog on Challenge web page but it is already not there and the blog itself seems to be dead.

In the post about the K24 race in the Czech Republic you could read about a home made streamliner built by Nink. In the following gallery you can see couple of pictures of this unique and nice bike. Couple of points are really interesting. The front part shape is made from plastic children bath. The bike is equiped with side light as same as extremely strong front and rear LED lights. The sight light you can see next to the mirror and its controllers are mounted on the bars. The bike also has a “pee system”, because it is not easy to get on and get off and during such race you have to save as much energy as possible. The little tube going outside the shell just above the rear wheel is part of this system as same as the black bowl inside the bike.

The builder of this bike and many other is an aviation engineer so he has close relationship with aerodynamics and speed. His next project should be a fully faired carbon fibre recumbent.
