Canoe on Recumbent Bike

Post by pawistik »

Came across this today, if you've ever thought it would be neat to sell the SUV and go by bike instead this just shows it just might be possible.

You can see more and the story behind it here.

Cool as it is...it would be a real workout if you canoe on a river. First, you ride to your put in spot, you drop your canoe, then bike 20 miles, then run back twenty miles, get in the canoe, then paddle 20 miles, then ride the twenty miles you just paddled with the canoe on top, then back home!

:thinking

I'll take my SUV :laughing

Why not leave the whole thing assembled and just flip 'er over into the water and paddle off! ;)

The bike disassembles but I think he said he wasn't sure if it would fit in the 15' canoe.

Still, a fairly interesting concept and an interesting photo.

Cheers,
Bryan
