Hi Vi,
nice picture, may be possible with the python too. The question is, if weight
so high above the driver would not make the python unrideable.
But maybe it is possible to put hydro foils on the python. One pair right and
left off the front wheel, an other pair left and right off the rear wheel.
Maybe the foils could be made to fold away for land usage.
But wait - if you can't put enough power to the bike or stop peadaling you will
sink fast - very fast.
Getting startet will be difficult too.
Gerald

How about having the bike carries the board overhead on land, and vice versa on water?
Need friction rollers to transfer power to water, must rotate with wheel to steer

I saw years ago on a fair the lifesize-modell of a students work which used a
flevo as the skelett for a folding kayak. I had the websides but the project
stagnated. The modeel was only foam but the ideas he had where great. He swing
the suspension part to the front to make it longer and wanted to swing both
crank levers to the front where he attached the lines for the steering. The not
so nice part was that it was made to use paddles and driven with the legs. The
hull was a a big package on the bicycle rack.
Chears,
Steffen

SF bay is too big to cover with an amphibious recumbent, but it would be really nice for a
smaller lake not so far away. For now, I am thinking of something compact & modular that can
be transported inside a small car. However, it all depends on what I can recycle - surf board,
kayak, fins, propeller, etc ... so it will take a while to collect.

I once thought of building an amphibuous
python - But I reckon you'll be the first to
realise this ...
