Second part of the downhill portion of a trike ride from Matinilla to Santa Ana in San José, Costa Rica. The human powered vehicle (HPV) is a Catrike Expedition (www.catrike.com). Unlike a bike, trikes are not as stable and braking is complicated if using only ONE hand at high speeds, so holding the camera in one hand and trying to ride well makes for a jumpy video. A helmet cam or similar contraption is in order.
Maximum speed was 55.6 km/h (34.5 mph).

  • Decent speed! Gotta admire the catrike, what a elegant engineering!! Looks like tons of fun!

  • Riding the Catrike recumbent trikes are fun. An unexpected bonus is how much fun it is to see the reaction of the kids and adults that see me go by. Very few people are indifferent when I go past them.
