Legal Labyrinth of Riding Recumbent in America!

from Laidback Bike Report · host Gary Solomon

Is it possible that you're illegally riding that Catrike, Terratrike. or even Cruzbike on the streets of America? It turns out to be a very difficult legal question fraught with insurance and financial implications. Doug Davis chats with legal experts Charlie Thomas, Steve Magas and Steven Hansen about laws excluding some 2, 3 or 4 wheeled bents from riding our roads. It's a real problem and makes touring a potential nightmare.  Next is a segment on the best approach to buying and selling a used bent. I talk to Chris Ferguson and Steve Wood who each moderate a popular Facebook classified group for recumbents. They and our own Larry Varney (representing BentRider Online Classifieds) will discuss all the dos and don'ts involved along with our very experienced panel. Also,Larry Varney and I were invited up to Grand Rapids, Michigan where we had two days to put the new Spyder-TerraTrike's speed machine-through its paces. If you had previously thought you'd never hear the words "TerraTrike" and "speed machine" in the same sentence watch on and be amazed.  Finally, we'll have Honza and Denny with the Recumbent News and Sports respectively.00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:02:48  Panel Introduction00:06:20  Sponsor Introduction00:07:50  Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:16:15  Doug Davis-Legal Labyrinth of Riding Recumbent in America00:21:27  Legal Expert-Steven Hansen00:40:15  Legal Expert-Charlie Thomas00:48:54  Legal Expert-Steve Magas00:58:40  Doug Davis-Summary and what our viewers can do to help01:15:35  Advice for Buying/Selling your Bent-Ferg FB Recumbent Trikes & Bikes Classified01:23:30  Best Advice for Buying and Selling your Bent-Steve Wood FB Recumbent Classifieds01:33:00  Best Advice for Buying and Selling your Bent-Larry Varney BentRider Online01:43:08  Review Team-TerraTrike Spyder and ATC trikes-Larry Varney01:55:10  Peter Stull stuffs two Performer trikes and more in a van.02:00:20  Denny Voorhees-Sports Report02:03:00  Sponsor Thanks02:04:40  Coming up next month02:05:38  Goodbye to panel and crew*Honza’s News Report Links*Hase Bikes  https://hasebikes.com/https://www.facebook.com/watch/operationgarderlecap/https://www.facebook.com/paltineanuhttps://www.facebook.com/zicho.huhttps://www.instagram.com/solarebike/https://www.facebook.com/4PointsAustralia/*Guest Links*Doug Davis links to “Legality of 3-4 Wheeled Bent” reference pagehttps://www.bicycle-evolution.com/index.php/the_wheels_of_regulation/Steven Hansen  https://www.swhlaw.com/Charlie Thomas  https://huberthomaslaw.com/about-us/our-attorneys/Steve Magas  https://www.ohiobikelawyer.com/*Buy and Sell Links*Facebook Recumbent Trikes & Bikes Classified  https://www.facebook.com/groups/848211398622353Facebook Recumbent Classifieds  https://www.facebook.com/groups/534973056586751BentRider/Larry Varney  http://www.bentrideronline.com/*LBR Review Team Links*https://www.terratrike.com/performance/spyder/*LBR Crew Links*Recumbent News-online news website by Honza Galla  https://www.recumbent.news/BentRider/Larry Varney  http://www.bentrideronline.com/Doug Davis Bicycle Evolution  https://www.bicycle-evolution.com/Nina Paley’s LinksNina’s blog  https://blog.ninapaley.com/Nina’s bike merchandise  http://www.palegraylabs.com/other-stuff-1/protective-bicycle-amuletPeter Stull  https://bicycleman.com/Josef Janning  https://www.facebook.com/josef.janning**Viewer Submissions or Questions**Send to [email protected] the show
