I've borrowed this to end the racing season on

It may improve my times but I think not

That looks rather cool!

Just seen your sig about Norwich weekend rides - I'll have to tag along on one sometime, it's only an hour by train from home.

please excuse the stoopid question, but is the chain supposed to be there? doesn't it rub on the front wheel when you turn? :biggrin:

Hi Z

I've found that it has the turning circle worse than the rotation of the earth


When you are riding just note how much you actually turn the bars on your bike
it's the same on this Molerat not a lot at all

Looks pretty sweet, the seats on those ratty's always looks a bit lacking in the lumbar department to me though, how comfortable is it?

Cool bike My dad use to work with Mike at an engineering company in Rackheath, unfortunately my dad wasn't involved in making them. I would have asked my dad to build one for me if that was the case. I can remember when I was little siting on the three wheel recumbent in the factory but my legs never reached the pedals. I hope the racing season goes well for you :smile:

As I have borrowed this bike,I have still got to get the seat comfortable

but with extra layers of foam hopefully it'll be ok

Why don't you go out to mike's place
and try out his two and three wheelers

haha yes I may even be able to reach the pedals;) They are quite pricey I don`t think I would be able to afford one and my hubby would say we do not have any space in the garage for 5 bikes and a moped lol

Start using the rooms in your house and then you could be like me and have 14 steeds
of all different breeds

I might have to lose the husband if I did that we only have four rooms in our flat :smile:

My very kind father purchased the molerat for me and now I've had the molerat painted in gofaster red,stuck some fabric wheel covers on,

it feels faster but that could just be my imagination.
