weird and wacky recumbents!

[young Ed]

About 35lb - the designer claims his was only 28lb.
I averaged about 21mph when I raced it on Herne hill velodrome (45min race)
There are some build details here: http://2x4.xntrick.co.uk/

crikey very light as recumbents go then!
Cheers Ed

LAter taken up and commercially manufactured as the " 2Can"

Is that because she'd have had to pedal as well?

Rode one of these in Germany a few years ago.
Surprisingly good - we'd get one, if the import costs weren't prohibitive...

great, loving that one loving the rather rugged look with those tyres and the dual rear disc brakes!

well wow just wow congrats my man! just read through the whole build log and that is just great!

a question for you all on tandems like @irw 's and the one @Cunobelin posted i see each rear wheel is independently driven by different people, what happens if the stoker is faster than the pilot or vise versa? or do you just have to try and match each other cadence? they have completely separate gear systems so this could help?
