Lovely video!!! My taste runs more to lowracers, but these are still awesome bikes!

Georgia Riders:

Write to your General Assembly members for an exclusion for recumbents from vehicle code 40-6-296 (d) which prohibits operation of bikes with the pedal more than 12 inches above the ground in its lowermost position.

Is the 26 inch front wheel superior to the 20 inch??

[Makorow]

26 inch front wheels handle rough pavement better. Also, raising the front end yields a more aerodynamic position.

[atlcorsa]

Yes, but technically these high racers are running 650c which are slightly larger than a 26". Given the same width tires, the larger wheel will have less rolling resistance.

[winston5610]

Mine runs a 559mm bead, same as a 26" mountain bike wheel, but knife-blade narrow tires. I love it: it rides like a Barcalounger on wheels!

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

Depends on the type of riding. Big front wheels mean high feet and a more reclined position. It isn't the best for hilly terrain, but it's great for what they are doing in the video. For myself, I prefer 20/26, but I'm more of an all-purpose rider and tourer. Those guys are more advance than I :-)

[frankbanker]

great bunch of bent riders having a good ride and fun all the way!

[Makorow]

Wow, not exactly a paceline but riding fast in formation like that looks cool.

Nice bikes!
