The G4 Bicycle-Upright Power on a Bent?

Ron Thompson is a retired mechanical engineer. He's built a 2 wheeled bent he believes is the 4th major breakthrough in bicycle design. That's a lofty assessment but you owe it to yourself to hear him out. The ability to recruit supplemental hand power on a recumbent bike is the intriguing innovation he'll discuss with us today. The sale of Bacchetta Cycles was in the news since our last webcast. We have former CEO Mark Swanson and new owner Dana Lieberman with us for interviews. Along with the rest of the recumbent news is Honza Galla.The LBR Review Team is back with Peter Stull doing a review of the Greenspeed Magnum BW and Larry Varney evaluating the Steintrike Wild One.Nina Paley follows with her experience buying and upgrading a used Calfee Stilletto.00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:02:30  Panel Introduction00:05:22  Sponsor Introduction00:07:20  Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:13:30  Mark Swanson former CEO of Bacchetta Cycles00:24:00  Dana Lieberman of Bent Up Cycles new owner of Bacchetta Cycles01:26:16  Review Team-Greenspeed Magnum BW with Peter Stull01:38:23  Review Team-Steintrike Wild One with Larry Varney01:21:25  LBR Review Team-HP Velotechnik fs eScorpion 20 reviewed by Tim Segard01:52:00  Nina Paley with her Calfee Stiletto rap and update01:58:40  Sponsor Thanks02:00:12  Announcement02:01:00  Coming up next month02:02:15  Goodbye to panel and crewPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven't already done so.
