Hello - Just joined up to listen in, but figured it's rude to do so without introducing myself. I hail from rural Thurston County - just began riding 'bent on...
Hi Mark, I forwarded your email to our OHPV email group, and you got some replies so I thought I'd better forward them back to you, too :-) Looking forward to...

Hi all, Just a quick note to say Hi and introduce myself. I live in Lakewood, just south of Tacoma, and am now riding a Rans F5 Enduro XL. Majority of my...
Hello All - My recumbent trike came with SPD hybrid clipless pedals, but as yet I have no shoes, so I'm thinking powergrip straps for my hybrid pedals. What's...

Being clipped in is a must. Power Grips would probably work, but any clipless pedal will be quicker to get into and will probably be more secure. My...
Mark: Yes, as Bill says, being clipped in is pretty much required on a 'bent. I have a pair of Lakes sandals that I just don't use any more - what size do you...
Haven't tried the PowerGrips, but they won't do a whole lot to keep your feet from slipping down the pedals on a trike. SPDs worked well enough for me for my...
Hi John - thanks for the nice offer. I'm apparently a size 43/44, as I just tried some SPD sandals at my lcoal LBS and the 41/42 were too small. It only took...
Thanks for the info, Mike. I had been told by folks who should know that the "canted" nature of the PowerGrip straps attachment to the pddals does a really...
I find Power Grips fussy to get into. It might be easier on a recumbent trike, since 1) you're not going to fall over, and B) you can see your feet. Some...
Hey John - I'm clipped and ready to ride! Thanks! Took the 10 mile run today to work (1/2 of my planned commute) and even though it was a workout (and...
Mark, For hydration packs, talk to the very good folks at TerraCycle in Portland (www.terracycle.com). They have a product called the FastBack hydration...

Hi all, Hope you have enjoyed this summer like weekend. And the weather guessers are saying it's supposed to be summery weather next weekend too, in time for ...
Great Info - Thanks for the links. After 40 miles on Friday last week, I felt my left foot (clipped in) go a bit numb at the cleat on my Lake Sandals. This is...
I was riding my Easy Racers Gold Rush on NE 30th St. in Redmond, just east of the Microsoft main campus on May 13, 2008. It gets steep, then steeper; it was...
Wow! So sorry to hear about your injury - I've had almost the exact same incident but been fortunate enough (so far) to collect only bruises. Forgive me for...
Ron - Pretty new here, but really wanted to wish you a speedy and complete recovery. I broke my hip in a head on car crash in my 20's, and had a rather long...
Thanks, Mark. That's encouraging. Some people have informed me that LWB recumbents are more prone to skidding the front wheel. I know that from 10 years'...
Cara, your Tour de Pierce brochure prohibits Training Wheels and Tricycles. We are inclinded to think that by this you mean juvenile upright tricycles. Adult...
