M5-Couch

Sometimes Manfred would like to rest on a couch and lay his legs high.
Therefore, Santa Claus had brought a parcel from the Dutch carbon ligfietsen producer M5. In the parcel was a frame rack, with which Manfred built a couch :-)
In the meantime Manfred pedaled some thousands kilometres recumbently. His experiences in riding the couch you find here: https://manfred-tinebor.fotki.com/journals/couch-surfing/
To get a little impression of riding the couch speedy, please watch the video recorded on a country road in Lower Saxony between Polle and Bad Pyrmont: https://manfred-tinebor.fotki.com/journals/manfreds-videos/entry/wqtfrbtwwtqqq/

Bracket beam with assembled chain wheels

Since learning recumbent biking, standard chain wheels with the teeth combination 52-39-30 are used. To go faster, later the chainwheels should replaced against 60-44-32.

      :-)) Today I was on the nearby hill Saalberg. There the snow was 40-60cm deep.
      To much snow for the bicycle. The pedals dive completely into the snow!
