1st Velomobile in China Stopped by Police!

from Laidback Bike Report · host Gary Solomon

Joerg Gebers is a German working and living in Shanghai, China. He imported what he reckons are the first two velomobiles into China in hopes of commuting to work and eventually riding them through Asia and back to Europe. After a few weeks of tooling around Shanghai streets without incident in his Quattrovelo he was suddenly stopped by police and had his cherished velomobile impounded. He believes it is all a misunderstanding but the story has blossomed online and there are many pictures and videos of him taken by Chinese bystanders. In this video Doug Davis and Gary Solomon have the opportunity to engage Joerg in an online interview from China and give him the chance to set the record straight on this story. The interview was conducted live on Thursday, July 9th, 2020.Support the show
