More Info:
I wanted to build a very simple recumbent bike wthout the worry of any type of cables. The bikes low gearing means it is slow but is was fun to use when I had it. It was given away in a draw at a event in London, ON. The last time I saw it was a few years later at the Tim Hortons on Springbank Drive in London, ON. I hope it is seeing still being used and is being enjoyed!
