I stumbled upon this truly fascinating video that explains that steering a bicycle doesn't work like most of us thinks it does -- yet we seem to do it intuitively anyway.
It's described as "the largest radiotelescope in the world which can operate at the lowest frequencies that can be observed from earth" and it's about a thousand km wide, which makes it a nice example of peaceful international scientific cooperation.
Accessible cycling: Anyone out there who uses a bike as mobility aid? Either standard bikes, or adaptive ones (recumbent, semi-recumbent, adult trikes, tandem, hand bike,…).
We’ve had fantastic experience with the Hase Pino semi-recumbent tandem.
Mulling over adult trike options for my mom, who’s starting to have balance issues.
Dug my #RadiusHornet I #recumbent#bicycle out of the mothballs today. Haven't ridden it for quite some years (but the Brompton and the KMX trike instead). It survived standing in the garage quite well. Just had to inflate the tires again.
Nevertheless will replace the tubes and brittle tires soonish. Also the Maguras and front suspension need some maintenance. And the chain might need some oil, too.
And it seems as with cycling in general: You don't unlearn to ride a recumbent bicycle. 😎
Ihr kennt das: Felgenband und Schlauch kriechen mit der Zeit in die Speichenbohrungen, bis die Luft raus ist… Doch das sollte nun der Vergangenheit angehören.
