Though he's now retired, Geoff Adams spent his professional career creating music and video for many children's shows you may remember. Being an avid recumbent rider since the 1990s he also brings those amazing talents to bear on the laidback world he loves. From lowracers to trikes we discuss it all with Geoff and share the laughs and lighthearted stories from 4 of his incredible bent videos.

Armin Ziegler has toured in many places around the world with his recumbent bikes, trikes and velomobiles. This Swiss adventurer has a well regarded collection of travel blogs that have entertained bent riders for many years. As with many velomobile riders he had been stopped by curious police a number of times always ending in a friendly chat and quick return to the road. This past May his Greek velomobile tour ended abruptly with a quite different police encounter. Armin was stopped, arrested and had his velomobile confiscated.

We talk to Armin about his love for bent travel, the stable of recumbents he maintains, and some of the places he's been. Then we delve deeply into his recent ill-fated tour of Greece. He explains what exactly happened, why he thinks he was singled out and the current legal status of his court case.

We have two incredibly inspiring stories that share a connection involving a Steintrike Wild One trike.

First up we talk to John Gunterman. John is a US veteran who was injured in the middle east. He talks about his journey of recovery, how Steintrikes have played a part in it and how he now is dedicated to helping others ride to health. Setting goals is a large part of John's plan and his focus is now on climbing the notoriously difficult Mt. Washington next spring on a Wild One. Where this trike will come from takes us to our second story...

Having set their own personal goal of promoting solar power and sustainability around the world, Megan and Polo created "The Green Journey". This young couple (an American woman and Frenchman) set out from Berkeley, California this summer on two electrified solar powered Steintrikes. They were attempting to become the first solar powered trikes to cross America. Along the way they met amazing people and shared their ideas on how to make the world a better place.
