A worldwide meander with a solar bike
with a few necessary
airline hops along the way 🙂
(Bent = slang for Recumbent)
Conveyance design goals:
All gear able to be packed into three checked in bags/boxes
Able to withstand a fair bit of abuse
Self supported and as sustainable as realistically possible
Comfortable riding position
Perceived challenges as I contemplate the adventure ahead…
Dealing with border crossings
Restocking while leaving the bike unattended
Getting run off the road/squashed by inconsiderate drivers
Pilots perspective
A comfy seat and great views of the way ahead.
Scene from behind
Red blinkies on the back of the trailer.
Large reflective triangle.
Radar tailight alerting traffic with the light and alerting me to any traffic approaching within 140m behind me.
Kit and caboodle
The conveyance in all her glory
