Brisbane River Loop in a Mango Velomobile

Short 30km loop in a Mango Sport RE Velomobile. I've discovered that I'm not much company for other cyclists, while some will pass me on steep ascents, I leave them behind on the flat and downhills.

It has a bell (for slow speed passing) but I use the horn to 'toot toot' the cyclists at speed as it can be almost impossible to hear anything behind you when cycling with the wind in your ears.

The data for the loop can be seen here:

I'm hardly super-fit but I think I did quite well considering some of the terrain. The bruises on my thighs are from the bar-end shifters. I've now worked out how to not hit them while pedalling!

Has cycling picked up in australia since cadel evans won the tour?

[nitramluap]

@Gromitdog1 Nope... a few more people out on a Saturday on brand new bikes but that's the only time they're used...

@1977trickle You do seem to be an anti-cycling zealot, though. I suggest you take a read of TRL549, driver's perceptions of cyclists. It describes drivers like you basically treating cyclists with cycle-racism. It's a free download.
