Word has it that the next SLO Bike Club meeting will have a program on trikes, one of the many kinds of pedal powered traveling machines. Should be interesting, since several long-time riders have recently switched to either trikes or recumbants.
It turns out that there are twelve difference approaches to non-standard bicycles, ranging from arm-powered to pedicabs, and there are literally hundreds of manufacturers of these machines. In fact over one hundred manufacturers of folding bikes alone, ranging from 17 Bike to Zero Bike. If you want to look at a seemingly exhaustive listing, check out this site.
Then there is the bike called the “Big Daddy.” Don’t know who makes it, but it sure is a work horse. Can carry 400 pounds on a wheel base just shorter than a tandem.
