mystery bike (Read 1523 times)

rmillay Five Star Member rbent member; go Clowns! Posts: 2178	mystery bike Aug 28^th, 2016, 6:59pm A guy rode past my house today on a recumbent I struggled to identify. I didn't have time to get a pic, as he was there and gone. It was a LWB with unequal wheel sizes. It had indirect steering, superman style, and the frame seemed to have a jog in the middle. Any ideas?

I like the LWB Burley. If I understand indirect, it is a pretty small number of choices.

Atomic Zombie and a whole lot of others are building custom one of a kind bikes. I can't remember the one guys name, but he was on laidback bike reports within the last year. You can view the laid back bike report on youtube.
