Recumbent Trike, what’s it really like to ride, how does it work, Swindon’s Old Railway track

Agree about the exercise Sandy. Im 2 weeks into the couch to 5K program. Looking to run weekly parkruns in 2025.

Sandy, great to see you out and about on the old pedalo. I would love one but my neck of the woods is not conducive to it; no cycle paths and very busy roads. too dangerous for my old bones. A couple of channels for you to check out, both will be of interest to you. Velocipedium and Shedvelo. Regards, Henry.

Very entertaining Sandy👌😎I love your trips out whether on the trike, bike or Himmy Hope Mandy is keeping well….

Thanks for sharing the adventure, Mr. Wiltshire. And thanks for the look round the recumbent, too. That ‘enclosed’ chain isn’t something I expected… clever. In some of your recent videos I thought that I had seen some “lean” in the front wheels as you turned, but the “closer look” suggests that this was likely just a camera effect. I recall you saying, when you started to cycle more than motorcycle, how the bicycle was so much better for “stopping and seeing”. The recumbent clearly trumps the bicycle in this respect!

Loved this Sandy often looked at a Trike would have been great when I lived in Bedfordshire. I dont think it would cope well in Cornwall with all the hills lol

great vlog on channel thanks lee

Utter delight Sandy. The editing, the music, the landscape views and the info, both historical and local… I’m still saving for my recumbent… gotta get a bed first 🫤 Great upload. Thanks ✨👌🏼✨

No one Narrates this social history angle better than you, this Video was just magical to listen too, so much information It's so interesting, and when you see all the Traffic rushing by we know your on the right track, the Countryside and your love of It really comes to the For, are you still doing your Photography Sandy as I notice this seems to be taking a back seat these days, cannot wait for the next Video, take care Colin.

Hi Sandy, you know I speak as a converted smiley 😊 Recumbent Rider. Like someone mentioned in a comment, you ride with a real smile that exuberance’s, cheerfulness and excitement. If it brings that much wellbeing surely it has to be the go to pedal machine. I have two friends that have severe disabilities and both would be unable to continue riding if it was not for, a Recumbent trike. That fact alone, elevates the trike above two wheel bikes for me. The wellness and motivation that those two individuals gain from being able to continue riding is unmeasurable. You have heard me preach many times, Cycling is about fun and enjoyment and for me the Recumbent Trike delivers both. If your video inspires only one person to go out and experience the fun and enjoyment we do, then I take my hat of to you, for show casing the Recumbent Trike. Cheers

Hi Sandy I do like the idea of a recumbent but the roads around here are way too dangerous, with miles of narrow winding lanes and all with the national speed limit 80km p/h I think I would be "squished" in no time, especially with our local farmer who is as blind as a bat and drives like an unguided missile. keep up the good work.

That trike is cool sandy just stay safe in those very busy roads, your doing the right thing avoiding them 👍 life to Mandy and the woofers ♥️🥰👍

Fun fact. ICE 'cheapest' model. After years of making really expensive trikes they wanted something more people could afford.
Looks nicer than the new models if you ask me. Kinda classic with the polished alloy rims. And not spoiled (yet) with e-assist. I sometimes feel like taking the motor off my QNT again. Back to basics. I'll be slower. But also lighter and less to worry about. It may sound strange, but going slow is actually what trikes are good at. Going 15 km/h you hardly have to pedal at all. To maintain 25 km/h you really have to work. Trikes are not racing machines. They're cruisers.

I'm hard of hearing so I use captions most channels they are automatically on but they seem to rarely be on this channel for some reason.

Fare play to you Sandy that is some miles on a weekly basis.

Love everything about Sandy and all his doings. But I will never see the point of this. What can you see that low down of the passing view. And nothing will convince me that you are more visible to cars and lorries. Utterly unpersuaded.

You do look very comfortable Sandy.😊 I hope you had a nice birthday.🎉🎉🎉

Brilliant Sandy!
I love my trike too. Been out again today on the Strawberry Line from Cheddar to Yatton.
Are you joining the South West & Wales Trike Riders ride out on Saturday 20th Oct? I'm going.
Hope Mandy's doing well.

Good morning sandy its nice to see the best of the English country side from your bike brilliant stuff very enjoyable to watch.

Very informative video on the Trike Sandy. Just bought myself a folding tern to get back into Cycling, not doing to bad at 74. Looked you up on QRZ great to see somebody else that's still fascinated with CW, very interesting QRZ page as well. 73s Sandy -.-

Just watched this, great review , what’s it like to pedal? Is it hard work say compared to a bike and for leg reach is the seat movable fire and aft ? you look like your legs are locking out a bit , is that the style of the ride? And most importantly… HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Also .. re the bike , no spray from the front wheel coming up into ones entirety

Hi Sandy your trike rides are really encouraging and well informed so much so I’m seriously considering getting one Have you plans to do a camping trip on one of.

Belated happy birthday Sandy. Really enjoyable video.

Hi Sandy, I recently discovered your vlogs. I really enjoy them. Bicycles, recumbents, Royal Enfield's and ride outs through superb scenery. What's not to like. Thanks
