@kinetix I love my StreetMachine (HP Velotechnik). It's only a two wheeler recumbent, but it's so fun to ride.

I just need a more suitable area to do rides. I could ride everywhere when I lived in Portland Oregon, but sadly, any form of cycling is pretty much a death wish down here in Sonoma County.

@Triple5 Hi Triple!! I’m new here also. How i hooked up with others was by just tooting a bunch of hashtag labels that reflect what interests you, then click on them from your published toot. I made up the labels and found I was not alone!
Example, I own a #CruzBike and wanted to connect with others. Nada. But I #’d #recumbents. And #cycling and BINGO! I’m started!
Have fun. I bet there are hundreds of people looking for you, too.
Peace
#Recumbents Bought a #CruzBike Q45. Fun to ride! Hoping to return to touring now that my bike doesn’t hurt me.

Good evening everyone! I’m new to Mastodon and hoping to de-tweet my existence. I’d like to spend my SM time positively.
I follow US politics, but hate the divisive tone.
I like to cycle, read and learn. Currently trying to learn Japanese.
Travel is important to my mind as is thoughtfulness.
Everything has a grey area. But teaching and learning are vital to my existence.

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

No, thank you. 🤪
I'd fall asleep in that posture. 😅

But seriously, on our streets, that would be the most dangerous mode of #transportation. #Motorbikes are already invisible to many larger vehicles. Recumbents make easy roadkill. 🤷‍♀️ And adding a flag doesn't really make #recumbents more visible. I drive a lot. Yes, I* see them, but only because I'm not distracted. Many drivers out there are distracted while driving.

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.
