To travel by bicycle is a humble, nonagressive way to get close to people. It is a way of saying we are passing through with no thought of invasion or conquest, only the simple will to share a part of the war.

Here is our Bike E tandem recumbent with a B.O.B Yak trailer for your bike gallery. We use the bike for our vacations and have just completed a tour along the north shore of Lake Erie. Last year we crossed Prince Edward Island with it. We bought the bike used 8 years ago and we don’t know the actual age of it. It is heavy when it is loaded for touring but is very comfortable. —Dan

Looks comfy, Dan! I always wonder, when I see a BikeE, would there be anything to be gained by putting a new fork and 20 inch wheel on the front instead of the 16 inch?
Kevin
Looks like a lot of fun Dan!
I always wondered why Bike E used a reversed front fork, any comments?
John
Isn’t that fork backwards?
Kevin: I have thought of the 20″ wheel just recently and may try it.
John/Kirk : The fork is suspose to be backwards, the manual stresses this but does not say why. I have tried the other way and the steering is very touchy and almost impossible to steer. I don’t know why but it works best installed backwards.
Dan
John,
With the fork’s steering axis almost vertical that is the only way they can get any trail for stability. It is similar to the castoring on a shopping cart.
