I bet Strava loses track of that thing at 88mph.

It’s not as much recumbent as it is a very relaxed “seat tube angle” with the addition of a backrest…

The rider must need the extra grip given by those awesome Odyssey triple traps to risk guaranteed extremely bloody shins. Towing 19 cats has to be tough work.

@Julien M – Isn’t that kinda the definition of a recumbent?

What, no closeup of the hideous mutant creature that’s trapped in the cage on the back?

I hope that these mods didn’t void the warranty.

I don’t think the bike needs front suspension with how long the pole is coming out of the top. Sorry but in this case I was unsure of what to call it but the amount of flex it would have,,, KICKASS!!!

I also like that it has loads of road grim on it , Well used and well loved!!

I’d buy one. You know, if it came in 650b.

The public demands a comprehensive build sheet. This will not stand as just a minor “Pic of the Day”, an article must be published.

Can it really be considered a trike when it has 7* wheels? Or are the 4 at the back not in contact with the ground?

If Sloth form The Goonies had a bike this would be it.

Are those highway pegs or frame sliders on the downtube?

The 4 wheels in the back are just a part of the wheelie bar/rear cage rack combo so they don’t really count. Still a trike.

May the Recbegossemon live forever.
