Title: GCN rides a recumbent uphill... Post by Mizta_Nice on Aug 14th, 2020, 2:22pm this is a video of the Global Cycling Network, a YouTube channel dedicated to cycling, attempting a pretty steep hill on a couple of low racers and a velomobile. https://youtu.be/lD53YiygVhA I think it’s just great to see the regular channels devoting any time at all to the laid back lifestyle. Give it a thumbs up so they’ll do more of this type of thing in the future.

That's why this old guy doesn't own one. That front-drive low racer was set up for flat land racing with 70T and 48T chainrings. Don't know why they would try to climb a steep hill with it. The mid racer had granny gearing, so it was the most appropriate recumbent for hill climbing.

Post by MrWizard on Sep 12th, 2020, 8:51pm He also didn't climb worth a crap ..   I almost couldn't watch it as his cadence and technique was so poor  it brought tears to my eyes and sailors words to my mouth jayg wrote: That young guy blew up before he got to the top of the hill in the velomobile.
