A ride up my local rail trail here in Arbroath, Angus in NE Scotland on my Recumbent bicycle. The bike is a Nazca Fuego. Soundtrack is: “Up Around the Bend” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. No copyright infringement intended, audio soundtrack is owned by Ace music label. PS _ I know there are a few spots where the quality is a bit ropey – I promise I will go back and fix them at some point. … Arbroath Angus Scotland Rail Trail Recumbent Bicycle Bike Ride Creedence Clearwater Revival Up Around …
Find a quiet path in the park or something, ideally with a gentle downhill grade. Tray rolling along with your feet just above the ground, putting them down when necessary. When you have mastered “scuttling” along like this, then try putting your feet up on the pedals.
It should all come together pretty quickly after that point. I fell off a couple of times in the first 200-300 miles of riding but after that I’ve had no problems.
Have fun
I have a recumbent for 6 months but havent tried it as I find it so completely different. Can u give some advice about how to get started with it please.
You know something funny… after watching your video last week, I was riding my trike on Saturday morning and I could not get that song out of my head as I pedaled along! Hilarious!
Great video. I like how you got some shots with the camera on the ground and you riding past it. Inspiring me to do more creative stuff wtih my vidoes. I think I need to do one of my commute to work in this style.
Well done! And SUCH a cool bike!
