Opus, I'd like to go check out the velos.  I have a Ranger with a bar in the back to mount the forks for two bikes.  What's the measurement between your dropouts?  I need to know if I need to move the bar forward to keep your back tire from riding on the ground behind us.    Let me know if you still want to go and we can work out the details.

Yeah, no problems with the wheelbase.  Tried to call you.  (469) 396-3785.

I was wearing my RBENT jersey, didn't you see me?
 
Gigi was looking a little dowdy today, I should have given her a bath before taking her in front of her public.

I put a link to some pictures in the Photos section...

'Different' vehicles have shown up the last two years, but then a lot of cyclists think 'bent riders are about as weird as it gets. I try to be pretty low-key but the things that work well make that a bit difficult. I was a little upset when I first got there for missing most of the event due to arriving so late, so apologies if that came across. Took me a bit to let it go and sit down and talk with people, and some pretty interesting people show up there.
 
Last year the guy I thought owned velomobilesusa.com was there showing off some of their redesigned parts for the usa version. I'm pretty sure he was not the same one there Sunday though. Does anyone know for sure? Barry of Scarab Trikes was there this year, and he puts on a good display and Mike has a lot of inventory for people to test ride and people were riding trikes around the parking lot continuously so there were quite a few 'normal' 'bents. Trikes do seem to be the most fun for riding around that area though. Would need to get a road recumbent out on the road...
 
Clark and I rode back to Helotes today. Clark was riding the pa trike and he had a chance to really get familiar with it and open it up a bit and stretch his legs and had a blast. I made it back through Austin and stopped in Pflugerville for the night. Head for Waco with my daughter tomorrow. See if the access road goes all the way through.

Could be that my memory is just that far off also. The guy there last year was a retired airframe designer and had examples of the parts he was redesigning to make them stronger and lighter. We talked a little about it as I used to design automated weld inspection and airframe inspection systems, etc. I'm pretty sure it's the same company. I don't know of any other velomobile manufacturer in Midland :^)
