April 26 Rides

[evangundy]

I have to ask... what's happening in this picture? I've never seen anything like that before.

We are riding along the bike/ped path that runs between Marine Drive and the Columbia River, in Portland. Oh, I bet you mean the bikes :-)

We ride recumbents, (ours are Easy Racer brand - DH rides a Gold Rush and I ride a Ti-Rush - see www.easyracers.com for some photos without bodysocks to see what the bikes look like). We usually ride wearing the bodysocks - made from lycra (swimsuit fabric) so it stretches over the frame. There is a lexan front fairing and an aluminum framework for shape for the back end. I'll post some links to other pics and websites - there are some pretty interesting bikes out there.

For a look at lots of different recumbents, see http://ohpv.org/HPC/ if you click for all the different pages, there is a different picture at the top of each, and I think a separate page somewhere for photos from various years. Found it: http://ohpv.org/HPC/RacePhoto.html

Enjoy :-)
