Why Off Road Bent Riding Might be for You!

We have two bent riders who take off roading to a more comfortable place. Hezi Yismach is an Israeli bike designer and builder with a penchant for innovation. Richard Ehrlich rides his custom built off road bents where even mountain bikes are challenged. This Canadian adventure rider is even competitive in many of the racing events he enters. We will learn about these amazing guys and then engage our panel in a discussion of bikes, trikes and the future of recumbent off road riding.The Icarus Cup event is a pure human powered flight event at Manston Airport in Kent, England. Our British Human Powered Club correspondent Barney Harle was there this past June and delivers a fascinating report.Trident trikes has a new children's trike called the "Half Pint". Owner Tom Flohr was kind enough to ship me a loaner this summer so we could do a review. My grandkids unboxed, assembled and test rode it so we could evaluate it from a kids perspective.00:00:00  Intro00:00:50  What’s on Today’s Show00:02:40  Panel Introduction00:04:30  Sponsor Introduction00:06:40  Recumbent News with Honza and Gary00:19:50  Icarus Cup Human Powered Flight with Barney Harle  00:40:30  Off Road Bent Designing, Building and Riding in Israel with Hezi Yismach  00:52:40  Off Road Bent Riding and Adventure Racing with Richard Ehrlich01:14:20  Off Road Bent Riding Panel Discussion with Honza, Tray, Larry and Gary01:28:10  Trident Trikes “Half Pint” Kids Trike Review with Gary’s Grandkids  01:45:25  Sponsor Thanks01:47:30  Announcements01:49:25  Goodbye to panel and crew*Thanks to these wonderful sponsors for making the LBR webcast possible*TerraCycle  https://t-cycle.com/  800-371-5871 or  +1-503-231-9798 (Outside N.
