We were quite surprised when we saw this picture with so many baskets mounted on recumbent and on the cargo trailer. After reading a little bit more of David Hembrow blog it has been pretty clear that David calls himself a Bicycle Basketmaker and he has various baskets in his offer. Recumbent on the picture is Pashley PDQ recumbent which is reviewd by David here.

Karen is absolutely unbelivable. I think that the pictures are enough clear. Karen has already cycled many thousands kilometers on handbikes. Especialy few tours with Greenspeed GTT tandem which is build so she can ride and “pedal” together are great.

Here is a link to Flickr photogallery with many beautiful pictures from Indian Himalayas.

Marija Kozin is a brave slovenian girl. One of those few who cycle alone for long journeys. Marija cycled from Slovenia to Beijing by upright bike. More than 17.000 km almost alone. There she has decided to try recumbent and thanks to partnership with AZUB she cycled back from Beijing to Slovenia by recumbent bike. Next 15.000 km.

On the way home she had couple of troubles with knee and also with war in Georgia, but finaly she is at home.

Read more about her on www.marijakozin.com

We hope to do an interview with Marija and publish it here soon.

Alaskan newspapers Anchorage Daily News has published very nice article about Andy Sorensen and his Leitra. Probably the only one velomobile in Alaska.

There was a recumbent meeting in teh Czech Republic in town Hodonin from September 11th till 14th. There were around 140 participants and about 100 recumbents what shows that about 40 people uses upright (upwrong) bicycles or lend some other recumbents or trikes from friends.About 50% of recumbents were homebuilds and the rest wasmostly AZUB brand or some other like Velokraft of Lightning. Also some trikes has appeared and three velomobiles.

On Thursday all the people did a trip aroun 110 km to the borders with Austria. On Friday only a short trip was done and than there were races in 2km sprint and also a trike races. As seen mostly Greenspeed were used, what is not that big surprise, because for Europe they are assembled in the Czech Republic in AZUB company. From pictures which we got from our friend, you can see that they had also some tough times and also velomobiles had two go over some ligh terrain. On the other side to see women racing on trikes is really nice.

On Saturday the participants went tovisit some villages under the Carpatian mountains and later in the evening they spent some beautiful time in wine cellar close to their base camp in Dubnany.

The Czech meeting seems to grow each year about 30% so we are expected how it will look next year.
