  • "I'm not a fan of recumbent bikes, too likely to end up under a car due to poor visibility. Aerodynamics won't fix that. Tricycles aren't my thing either, having two wheels is literally the essence of the bicycle."

  • "The steering works just like any other bike, but the headset bearings are packaged inside the frame on an axis just behind the handlebars. It took a lot of figuring out because the rear brake line goes internally through this hinge too, but in the end it's simple and works very nicely. Actually I copied the rake and trail geometry directly from a typical dutch commuter bicycle, so I could be confident of good handling. I didn't see a need to change that."

  • "Hi Luke, your comment made my day!  It's a funny world where seeing is no longer believing, isn't it? Certainly a growing issue for us all to contend with. However, I can assure you these photos are not renders (the bike or my wife). I admire the skills of people that can do such things, but personally I only get satisfaction from making the real thing. I painted the wheels a color called Tesla Sonic Carbon, after spending too many hours priming and sanding them. Maybe I should look into rendering next time! Best Regards, Bruce"
