"The Lost Recumbent"-Tilting Trike from the '80s

Creating a tilting trike in the early 1980s was anything but mainstream. Our guest for this podcast is David Ashenbrener. David will tell us his tale of designing such a recumbent and getting noticed enough to be published in Popular Science magazine in 1982. From there we talk about how he mysteriously lost track of his invention and its design for almost 40 years before resurrecting it this year with hopes of bringing it to market. 

Honza Galla will join us with the latest Recumbent News and Nina Paley our resident "Retro-Futurist" begins her new segment looking back at the Bicycle of the Future.
