Alphorning in on the action at #Spezi2026
"Based on a concept invented more than 10 years ago by two brothers, the moskitOS tilts and turns thanks to the clever use of an articulated trapeze that allows the whole front section, including the rider, to lean when cornering! This solution also has the advantage of driving the front wheel directly, avoiding the classic long transmission chain used on almost all similar vehicles."
A cargo bike set up to do silkscreening. Instant screening of the designs for #Spezi2026 (There's a heat gun to make it dry fast enough to take home.)
One said "Ride & Shine" with just text. One was a design in the style of what's on the Spezi site right now showing a cargo bike and saying "rise and shine" under. Another shows a velomobile and another shows a folding bike.

Home early again from Spezi. There's only so much I can do per day, especially when there's a significant walk (for me) from the hotel to the conference hall and back.
Had a great time meeting fellow Mastodonians @spmrider @miq and @FolksVelo, the latter of whom has the photoevidence.
And spotted @RostundRad again on the way out!
Will be posting more pics as I can catch up with things!

It's been like herding cats trying to get the several Mastodonians attending #Spezi to find a common time to meet up so it hasn't happened so far.
Does anyone want to meet outside before the show tomorrow to have breakfast?
Got to take a demo ride on this today. Very smooth ride even with suspension that was softer than would be called for with someone of my mass.
They're made in Serbia and are known for being good off-road recumbent trikes.
They have a US distributor as well. https://stein-trikes-us.com/about-us
My instance doesn't allow anything but teeny videos so I'm temporarily making this public on Flickr so you can see part of the variety of cycles being ridden on the test track of #Spezi2026 today.
Lots of different kinds of cycling and cyclists point out how inflexibly inaccessible some of our cycling infrastructure is.

Tandem bike at the grocery store, monotube recumbents at the hotel...#Spezi2026 must be soon!
plactagonicLast week I was riding on this road with my #recumbent #bike and over the weekend I tried bit different transport option.
Yeah my rule still stands - my vehicles shouldn't need to be fed daily...
Only the partial autonomous driving feature intrigues me a bit.
