Buying a Fast Recumbent-BentCon 2020

Do you have the need for speed? Want to combine that with hours of laidback comfort? On this latest BentCon 2020 video (our virtual visit to a recumbent convention) we focus on how to evaluate bents for dropping roadies on your daily ride or leading the pack at any bike competition you enter. Segment 1 consists of an independent panel of experts who will guide you step by step through the buying process. Our panel includes bent shop owners Doug Davis-Bicycle Evolution, Peter Stull-Bicycle Man, Dana Lieberman-Bent Up Cycles and Jonathan Garcia-Rose City Recumbents all well versed in the ways of quick paced bents. Segment 2 is where you make your virtual visit to the manufacturers expo booths. Most major manufacturers in the bent industry will be with us to pitch the one or two products they feel is best suited for speed. They have only 5 minutes to make their case so look for another exciting and fast paced round of concentrated and relevant information. Segment 3 is where we hand out prizes and swag from our manufacturers to our live viewers! We have great prizes to give away from ICE Trikes, Catrike and TerraTrike. *Table of Contents* 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:36 What’s on Today’s Show 00:02:07 Panel Introduction 00:07:43 How can you support the Laidback Bike Report? 00:08:36 Sponsor Introduction 00:09:38 Expert panel-What do I need to know before buying my touring bent? 01:08:05 Introducing the Manufacturers 01:08:27 AZUB https://azub.eu/tour Bent Expo Video here:    • Bent Expo-AZUB Bikes and Trikes   01:13:22 Bacchetta https://bacchettabikes.com/ 01:18:20 Bicycle Evolution https://www.bicycle-evolution.com/ 01:23:25 Catrike https://www.catrike.com/ 01:27:47 Cruzbike https://cruzbike.com/ Bent Expo Video here:    • Bent Expo-Cruzbike   01:34:00 Greenspeed http://greenspeed-trikes.com/ Bent Expo video here:    • Bent Expo-Greenspeed   01:39:08 HP Velotechnik https://www.hpvelotechnik.com/ Bent Expo video here:    • Bent Expo 2020-HP Velotechnik   01:45:22 ICE Trikes https://www.icetrikes.co/ Bent Expo video here:    • Bent Expo 2020-ICE Trikes   01:50:34 TerraTrike https://www.terratrike.com/ Bent Expo video here:    • Bent Expo-TerraTrike   01:55:38 Prizes and Swag Segment 02:01:00 Sponsor Thanks 02:01:45 Announcements-BentCon 2020 02:02:15 Coming up on the next regular Laidback Bike Report 02:02:30 How you can support the Laidback Bike Report?
