Velonaut Arrested/Velo Confiscated in Greece!

Armin Ziegler has toured in many places around the world with his recumbent bikes, trikes and velomobiles. This Swiss adventurer has a well regarded collection of travel blogs that have entertained bent riders for many years. As with many velomobile riders he had been stopped by curious police a number of times always ending in a friendly chat and quick return to the road. This past May his Greek velomobile tour ended abruptly with a quite different police encounter. Armin was stopped, arrested and had his velomobile confiscated. We talk to Armin about his love for bent travel, the stable of recumbents he maintains, and some of the places he's been. Then we delve deeply into his recent ill-fated tour of Greece. He explains what exactly happened, why he thinks he was singled out and the current legal status of his court case.00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:02:03  Panel Introduction00:04:00  Sponsor Introduction00:06:15  Honza with the Recumbent News and I take a couple of viewer polls00:13:45  Armin Ziegler-Velonaut Arrested and his Velomobile confiscated in Greece01:08:20  Larry Seidman talks about 2 adaptive riding events he worked on in Colorado01:11:35  Sponsor Thanks01:14:20  Announcements/Poll results01:19:35  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. Lot's more info and you can also buy a hat on our website: https://www.laidbackbikereport.com/.You can find our Cycle-Con 2024 YouTube Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw5zeaLy6vulsttNtUboRbgaoW_97wlDNWe would love to have you as a Patreon Patron where you can support all we do for as little as $1/month.
