Hi Olaf,
The ride was so enjoyable and I love the thought of having the bike this
summer and learning to ride it really well. There is something about the
challenge that inspires me. On a common recumbent, once you are stable on
it all you can do is trying to go faster and faster. Speed is not
stimulating me, but I am not afraid of speed either. It is simply not a
big enough challenge. That is perhaps why I during the past year have done
more unicycling than any other cycling.
There is lots of truth in these words. I think center-steered bikes
offer much more metaphysical qualities than others.
Once I read that you call your flevo your "Abend-Bike".
I am calling my python "meditation machine" or
"mind machine" ;-)
Anyway, back to the bike. My complaints are small: The rear mudguard is
too short so I get sprayed dirt water down my neck.
I mounted rubber flaps as splash guards on both fenders.
Oh yes, the seat is not ideal. On a regular recumbent the perforated
alu-seats from Challenge are among the best, but here on a knicklenker it
is different. It is too hard and rigid. I would appreciate something more
flexible.
OK - I understood the hint ;-)
Hier are close up pictures of the airbike seat shot from below.
The rear hinge is partially disassembled.
