Bijzondere middag tussen de trikers. Stoere mannen en vrouwen met hesjes maar een hart van goud. Want de mensen van rijden voor geluk zamelen geld in voor de Stichting Wensambulance... #trikelife #trikes

I manufactured a trailer hitch for my tricycle! It connects onto a tandem coupler hitch. My wife has the same coupler hitch and now either of us can pull the tailer and since the coupler has a quick release and easy to hitch and unhitch the trailer. #DIY #bikes #trikes

‘Tesla of e-bikes’ one step closer to production

https://www.eta.co.uk/2023/05/12/tesla-of-e-bikes-one-step-closer-to-production/

'Grant Sinclair, nephew of the late serial inventor Sir Clive Sinclair, may have the answer in the shape of his futuristic IRIS eTrike® which is being prepared for mass production.'

'The Iris eTrike is an ultralight streamlined electric-assist vehicle with a cruising speed of 25 mph.'

In Jersey, a new round of applications are open for people wanting a voucher to contribute to the cost of buying an eBike. I was particularly pleased to see that while vouchers are available for standard eBikes, there are even bigger vouchers for cargo bikes (which could help cut the emissions of businesses) and non-conventional eBikes, like trikes and handbikes.

I'm thinking of getting a folding #trike for commuting and shopping. Ideally one with an electric motor - an #etrike? Must be able to be peddled.

I have a feeling Mastodon people like #trikes compared to #bikes 😂

@bikescape

I had to check #ULtesting, not being a US national; for anyone else: https://www.compliancegate.com/underwriters-laboratories-ul-product-lab-testing/

There's also the small matter of does it have a diff - doubt it - so therefore lop-sided traction or tyre scrubbing. On slow, road #trikes front drive can be less of a bad compromise than on a 2-wheeler.

@evelyn @bikes @mastobikes @fedibikes
Good idea such a poll. Because the addressed groups #bicycles #trikes #recumbents, #pedelecs #eBikes ... are rather sporty, there is now a certain evidence, that the majority can't travel further than 50 km with a #bike. Since the poll integrates all kinds of Lfz with and without #PedalAssist, I would say, we have evidence, that promoting #pedelec up to 45 km/h lighter than 50 kg would advance the #transition of mobility. #verkehrswende #fahrrad #Lfz

@AufstandLastGen
Wenn Ihr da #Poller setzt um #KFZ auszusperren, denkt bitte daran, genügend Platz für Sonderfahrräder, also #Lastis, #Trikes, #Velomobile sowie #Fahrradanhänger etc. zwischen den Pollern zu lassen! Danke.

Another #VerseThursday item: my bike rack of bicycle-related poetry http://bikestylespokane.com/2022/12/10/i-think-therefore-i-ride-a-bike-rack-of-bicycle-poems/.

Still collecting these--have any favorites to share? Doesn't have to be "about" #bicycling; a #bike reference in passing counts too. Especially interested in any that are explicit about different types of bikes/trikes.

What is the distance you would/could #bike in a day and still be comfortable* at the end of your ride?

By comfortable, I mean you're not so exhausted that all you want to do is sleep -- you still have energy to do stuff or go sightseeing.

Includes #bicycles, #unicycles, #trikes, #recumbents, #KickScooter, #pedelecs a.k.a. #eBikes with #PedalAssist... anything that uses pure/some human* pedal power.

warum gibt es das nicht für Erwachsene?
Ich prangere das an!

#Trikes

This is my #CargoTrike. I've had it for almost two years and cycled over 2000 miles on it so far.

I have nerve damage in my left arm and hand and it's adapted so that braking and gears are all on the right side. Unlike a lot of cargo trikes the bucket isnt attached to the steering. This means I can steer using my right hand and arm only as it's alot lighter.

If you have any questions about #trike #trikes or #CyclingDisabled let me know 😊

@wasted Yeah, the thinking laid out in this article is exactly what I think is the main enemy of us ever achieving meaningful change. We need massive shifts in the way we live our day-to-day lives, but #recycling and other #greenwashing techniques get rolled out to placate folks who "mean well" but are wholly unwilling to accept any aspect of their current lives and goals. Just put that bottle in the right bin, buy the right kind of car, and you've done your part.

Seeing as how I'm not hamstrung by word limits on this instance, I'll copy and paste your other responses and respond to them here, to try to consolidate this into a more parseable thread. Not sure if that's actually helpful, but hey, we're all learning the ropes.

"Also wrt compostable plastics, is that true of industrial / high-heat facilities? I was wondering about this recently, I use Bootstrap for my compost and often find myself tossing PLA containers in the bin."

I was only ever involved in transport, so I can't speak to this at all, aside from saying, in general, any #composting system has to maintain a #balance, and there's a limit to how far you can push one component or another. Prefacing the following statement with "I am a #greencollargrunt, and have no qualifications to make these statements, but if I had to put forth a theory:" Most of these #compostable plastics are "technically so," but there's so much of them being put into the system that they are out of balance. I think the ratio of actual biologic matter to plastic to effectively break down everything is huge, so... it doesn't take much. But of course the American public just wants to hear that they technically could compost it, and that's good enough for them. Just like with recycling.

"(Last reply lol my character limit is small) Can I boost this btw?"

Boost away. The main reason I started transitioning over here (actually not a twitter refugee!) was because it seemed like a platform that we could actually have conversations on. I am a recovering instagram junky, and I kept posting my photography and trying to talk about the problems I was seeing, and The most I got was "🔥 shot!" over and over again from folks trying to work the algorithm. I'm pretty sure everyone who is likely to see my stuff on this platform gets it already, but I am really hoping we'll be able to move past just talking in circles into actually DOING SOMETHING about this shit. Solutions exist, but we need to decide to start working on them instead of waiting for some politician or bug-fuck billionaire to suddenly find fixing these problems to be profitable.

Gonna sign off now, but have somne #bikesatwork porn. A few shots of the #trikes out on the job to atone for the previous trike pic I posted and neglected to alt-text.

My current #ride. I adore the #honda #cb1100, but it will never match the joy I had riding the #harley or #spyder #trikes.

bitte wie unfassbar geil ist das
