Day 2 of the rides for Mel’s birthday. We try to tackle the Leif Erikson Trail. It was really wet… and we had a good time, but the weather was against us. Mel is one of the owners of Recumbent PDX, a Catrike dealer in downtown Portland. recumbentpdx.com/
Great to see you out riding! If you get up to northern Michigan with the Azub I'd like to see it in person. The North Central trail has a lot of great day rides. Good luck on the van.
I don’t think I’ve ever been through forest park where it wasn’t at least sprinkling even the middle of July. If you don’t like the weather in Portland just wait an hour. I don’t ever leave my bike unattended in Portland and I still carry a kryptonite New Yorker chain and lock
So, Portland and Minneapolis tend to rank as the best places to ride...and just as I hit submit, I heard Paul Bunyan of the north west. another Minnesota link :)
great video loved it. I have a question what was that pole on some peoples trikes that looks like it was carrying a camera or their trikes. It looked like a great accessory. thanks Matt I enjoy your videos a lot.😀😀😀😀
I’m considering buying a Ti-fly x. Wish you lived on the Southwest Side of Michigan so I could check yours out. Our side of the state is beautiful. You should come visit some time. 😊
How much sag do you have in your rear suspension. I have about 50%. To test this move the rubber ring around the rear suspension then gently sit down and see where the rubberband sets
El Gaucho Americano! Matt, go to Bonito Brazil, Cataratas do Iguacu, among other touristic places in Brazil, be careful in SA, not cycling friendly, safety can be an issue, Ja Yoe !

Once in a while a little bit of nature is so good to see . 😊😊.
Safety in numbers with so many trikes together!

It seems like a good place for training, since you haven't been cycling for a long time. Wish you success on your cycling tour of Italy.
thanks!

Just redid the cross walk in front of Mels shop a few days ago..
Would be intereseting to see a camparison of your new vs old trike, and what you like/dislike about each relative.

Mel rigs up all his trikes for video.. he has all sorts of booms and clamps he uses for each view.
I need to try this trail. 8:30 Hard to find a safe (safety for my car) place to park my car in portland though.

A Skydio drone like I sent you video of would be awesome for the trike
Up 8 feet out about 15-20 front or back it either side it does it all
the drone has a follow feature.. i just never used it... i am wondering how it would compare.
Dang.. I was in downtown Portland today
Missed ya!
nice gravel from the snow and ice that the city has decided is not a priority to sweep up
15:45 I thought this REI closed ?
Your trikes southern name, "El Titanadore"
