Hi all.
Hope you don't mind a foreigner to pop in.
Been looking in to your nice forum and the reason is that we don't have that many recumbent in Sweden.
I have seen many good tips of tires, chains and other stuff that will becomb handy in the future.
I have ordered a Trice Sprint 2 weeks ago and are waiting for the next 4 weeks for it. Can't wait for the spring to come.
We have 1/2 meter of snow here at the moment and today is the first day with a temperature above 0 since before Christmas.

. 1 ft 7 & 11/16 ins snow and 32 deg farenheight - and you must be about 30km south of here (Edinburgh), if my geography is correct. My QNT was good fun on hardpack snow and ice here last month. I've been using Conti City contacts in summer, changing to Marathons in winter, but still need to get off and push up icy hills. I was considering carrying a little bag of grit to sprinkle in front of the back wheel.

I have a rather smashing Volae Expedition Pro high racer in grey. That is all.

Thanks mate. Looking forward to some pleasant weather and taking the Furai out again. After LEL, it deserves a treat. My other bent, being German and somewhat heavier in construction has been renamed 'Panzerfiets' by a fellow CC'er, and settles all my commuting miles.

Trains used to have (may well still do) a sandbox with a pipe that allowed a little sand to flush out onto the rails in front of the drive wheels....

I had an idea for a bike flamethrower contraption (lighter and can of hairspray cunningly gaffataped to the forks with a thumbshifter activator) to combat those snowy/icy trips out but I never heard back from Dragons Den...
Their loss <sniff>
Hurricane SL
Hope to be the soon proud owner of a Hurricane SL in stealth (read matte) black, so I can then spend a fortune on lights to be seen - stupid really
Any hints on setup; lights, luggage, etc would be gratefully received as would UK dealers of same - for example cant seem to locate anyone selling the Radical Solo Aero.

Deal with Radical Design directly, I have bought several items from them with brilliant service.
