SPEZI 2024 - first impressions from the special bike show in Germany
It was packed. It was packed with people. It was packed with exhibitors, it was packed with interesting special bikes, recumbents, tricycles, velomobiles. It was packed with a great cycling atmosphere. The organizing guys themselves called it "The New SPEZI" in the press release, i.e. the SPEZI that was held for the second time in Lauchringen in southern Germany, instead of in Germersheim near Karlsruhe.
It was the 26th edition and I dare say that every one of the six thousand visitors who came this year enjoyed it. SPEZI was again held in an abandoned textile factory in a small town in southern Germany, near the Swiss border, called Lauchringen. There were really a lot of interesting constructions to see. From single-track recumbent bikes, through tadpole trikes with two wheels in the front or the delta trikes with one wheel in the front. Also velomobiles either three or four wheeled, with steered front wheels or even with steered rear wheel. In addition, there were various quads, either off-road or urban. In short, anything one can imagine in the world of recumbents.
Not to mention the many cargo bikes, which is a chapter in itself, because their designs are often very unusual.
And there were also a lot of news, although at first glance they were sort of hidden and we didn't know much about them ahead of time, but they were there anyway, we found them and you'll see them in a future long video.

Cycle touring with a drone - How the famous YouTuber Matt Galat known as JaYoe makes his videos
Переглядів 1,1 тис.5 місяців тому
I spent a few working weeks with Matt Galat in the Czech Republic in 2022 and at the end we took a 4 day trip to Slovakia to visit the castles there and try out his new trike. During those few days I had the chance to see how he works with his drone and vlogging camera. And just to see the ease with which he can operate the drone, the distance he can fly it, the fact that he doesn't use any aut...

    So miserable, looks a bunch of material hoarders, eco supremacists smelling their arses and weaving their flags and scammers that hijack cycling adoption with those prices and allow that toxic paint, grease and rubber crap, when all those bikes could be built with plywood and cardboard sandwich and be light and safe,using coconut grease for ceramic bearings and non toxic latex tyres or hemp fiber tyres

    Hey Honza, Great footage of the trip! It‘s so nice to get this „behind the scenes“ point of view from you. …and boy I love this trike you built ❤ I’d do a lot to have one of those, but this will probably take another bit of time… 😢 Thank you very much!! In Matt‘s words: Jayoe, buddy! 😊👍🏼

    Ahoj Honzo, videa od Matta jsou tak úžasná a přirozeně vypadající, až jsem si chvíli myslel, že je to opravdu jednoduché a zvládne to každý, tedy i já. Naštěstí jsem tomu dal čas, díky čemuž jsem zjistil, že Matt je v tomto ohledu opravdu profesionál s obrovským talentem. Díky tomuto prozření jsem si ušetřil jak peníze, tak hlavně zklamání z mých případných snah dělat něco podobného i z našich výprav a raději si o to víc užíváme cesty. Videa z výprav jsou nádherná, když se to umí a my ostatní se musíme smířit s tím, že se na ně raději budeme dívat, než se je pokoušet sami vyrábět.

    So much fun. My kiddo loves her recumbents. I didn't realize you had ever had that tiny little Eco. She's had 2x custom recumbents because we couldn't find anything that fit her when she was small (aside from a Catrike Dash, which I was lucky to find used...) The wide angle almost makes Julie's Origami look like the front wheel is bigger than the rear in that snapshot. Jen and I still love the custom folding minis you made for us.
