The Legendary Paris - Brest - Paris (Read 976 times)

Action Lad Five Star Member rbent member Posts: 1570	The Legendary Paris - Brest - Paris Aug 18^th, 2015, 1:23am The event was well represented by bents of all sorts. Funny seeing 700s in Europe. Actually all bents save the velos made it seem to me like a picturesque, cultural throwback town in America. Oops, forgot to add a link to a video of the recumbent start. https://youtu.be/4Htz15C2NmU Enjoy!

People actually like seeing you on the street .. they are generally helpful and excited about you being there. As I build my endurance back up, its one of my goals to do again.
