Photo #14710

I've now been out a few times with the local Sunday morning recumbent riders group, the Huneliggers. This photo shows the bikes outside the cafe where the ride starts, ready to set off on Sunday morning.

Many of people ride these velomobiles, which are extremely fast and in the case of the Quest, the enclosed wheels have very limited lock meaning a turning radius no tighter than 11 metres. Despite this, they fit on all the cycle paths here, even those in the countryside.

There are no barriers on the paths to impede progress either.

The owners of these machines generally have long commutes and use them for those commutes.

Some of them commute very quickly:
