Buying My 1st Recumbent-BentCon 2020

Choosing your very first recumbent bike, trike or velomobile? We will arm you with all the knowledge you need to succeed at purchasing your initial laidback transportation. Set up as a virtual visit to a recumbent convention we attempt to bring you the total experience of a Spezi or Recumbent Cycle-Con though we won't have the test track. If you wish to watch this episode on YouTube here is the link: https://youtu.be/09OGSvZtFEUIn Segment 1 we begin with our "Newbie Seminar". This consists of an independent panel of experts who will guide you step by step through the buying process. Our panel includes bent shop owners Doug Davis-Bicycle Evolution, Peter Stull-Bicycle Man, Kelvin Clark-Angletech, Tim Segard-Bent Revolution and Jonathan Garcia-Rose City Recumbents. In addition we've added noted bent celebrities Sylvia Halpern-Travels by Trike and Larry Varney-BentRider Online to round out this very savvy group.Segment 2 is where you make your virtual visit to the manufacturers expo booths. Most major manufacturers in the bent industry will be with us to pitch the one product they feel is best suited to you for that very first bent. They each have only 5 minutes to make their case so I think they will be concise, educational and entertaining. 00:00:00  Intro00:01:19  What’s on Today’s Show00:02:45  Panel Introduction00:07:20  How can you support the Laidback Bike Report?00:08:30  Sponsor Introduction00:10:00  Expert panel-What do I need to know before buying my first bent?00:55:15  Introducing the Manufacturers00:56:00  Avenue Trikes  https://avenuetrikes.com/01:01:40  AZUB  https://azub.eu/ Bent Expo Video here: https://youtu.be/195QGWsqvSU01:07:25  Bacchetta  https://bacchettabikes.com/01:12:50  Bicycle Evolution-Velomobiles  https://www.bicycle-evolution.com/01:18:30  Catrike  https://www.catrike.com/01:23:43  Cruzbike  https://cruzbike.com/  Bent Expo Video here: https://youtu.be/wcp7yG9Lkew01:28:45  Falco e-Motors  https://www.electricbicycleworld.com/  Bent Expo video here: https://youtu.be/gFj7eERXScI01:35:24  Greenspeed  http://greenspeed-trikes.com/  Bent Expo video here: https://youtu.be/q7VOIYRvmiY01:40:45  Hase Bikes  https://www.hasebikesusa.com/01:46:20  HP Velotechnik  https://www.hpvelotechnik.com/  Bent Expo video here: https://youtu.be/M51D9DgeFvY01:52:45  ICE Trikes  https://www.icetrikes.co/  Bent Expo video here: https://youtu.be/sMi3G4SwMkw01:59:07  TerraTrike  https://www.terratrike.com/  Bent Expo video here: https://youtu.be/zflBsfdTeXI02:02:32  Trident Trikes  http://tridenttrikes.com/01:50:08  Sponsor Thanks02:09:00  Closing comments from panel and live chat02:16:00  Sponsor Thanks02:16:45  Announcements-BentCon 202002:17:25  Coming up on the next regular Laidback Bike Report02:17:45 How you can support the Laidback Bike Report?Please subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbike... if you haven't already done so.
