[Hello,

Have you triked in countries other than Greece. If so, where'd you go?

I checked out your YOUTUBE page, and quickly misread the "Kyparissia - Church to Chill" clip as "Kyparissia - Church to CHILI."

Woops.:eek:

Sorry, I have only triked in Greece, but have cycle toured in Australia, where I am from, with an upright. 🙂

Greece seems pretty bike-friendly. Was it?

How is Australia?

Putting aside mountains, I'd say Greece is "trike-friendly". Recumbents are extremely rare in Greece, even more so possibly than many other places - people are fascinated by them here. The drivers are quite friendly with only the odd lunatic to be concerned about. The roads are not well maintained but tolerable and most have sufficient siding, allowing little to no interference with traffic.

One thing that comes across as a little unfriendly is to treat the trike on unequal terms when stationary by some. I have been asked to move the trike for no particular reason on several occasions when parked, when, if there was a car parked there, no such request would ever be made. Some people just don't like the look of something different, I'm guessing, and this is their way of showing it. 😕

I love this song. Sorry guys I'm a new user and I just wanted to comment on the song. My friend recently sent it to me and I fell in love with it and I just can't stop listening to it. I love romanian songs...it's probably because my country borders Romania...we're neighbors! lol

Done.

In the future, please don't respond to SPAM posts, use the 'Report Post' button in the post instead - it looks like a triangle with an exclamation point in it, we will take it from there. The same goes for posts made by trolls - hence the very widespread saying, "Don't Feed The Trolls".

Ok, thanks, now I see the report button. I did look around for one but it escape me at first. I think that was because I was viewing the thread without being logged in, then logged in to make the reply.

Although you say "done", I can still see the posts, but understand you might be waiting a little for me to see your reply. I don't know.

I nuked the post from 'kitesforsale' and removed the quoted post from your post. Please let me or one of the other mods know if we can help any further.

Hi,

Which song are you referring to?

What's it like riding a Trice T in Greece? The terrain looks incredible! How does the Trice T handle on those winding descents? Do you find yourself reaching high speeds, or is it more about taking in the scenery?

What's the point of posting videos of your tour in Greece? Are you seeking validation or just wanting to show off your Trice T? Don't get me wrong, the Peloponnese region looks stunning, but what's the technical aspect of your ride that's worth sharing? Are you running a custom setup or utilizing any innovative gear?

Nice videos, but I'm not sure what they have to do with all-weather commuting gear? Are you suggesting we all need to upgrade to a recumbent trike to tackle the Peloponnese hills?

I'm not sure what the point of posting YouTube videos is when they have little to no relevance to cycling physiology and genetics. It's great that you're touring Greece on a Trice T, but how does that contribute to the discussion at hand? If you're going to share videos, at least provide some context or insights that can spark a meaningful conversation. Simply sharing links without any analysis or commentary doesn't add much value to this forum. Can you explain what we're supposed to take away from these videos, or how they relate to our topic of discussion?

Oh, wow, I'm so impressed. You're touring Greece on a Trice T and decided to share your utterly thrilling videos with us. Who wouldn't want to watch a 10-minute descent down a hill or a static shot of a castle? I mean, it's not like we have better things to do.

And, no, you can't embed videos here, genius. That's why the links are just sitting there like dead weight. Thanks for the tutorial, though. I'm sure we were all dying to know how to post YouTube links.

"Great, another tourist on a recumbent BikeThink YouTube needs more helmet-cam footage of Greece, said no one ever."

"Oh, great, another amateur thinking they're a cycling star, posting videos of their 'epic' Greek tour on a Trice T. Newsflash: it's not about the bike, it's about the legs and lungs, and yours are probably as weak as your route planning."

Touring Greece on a Trice T, how quaint! 🚴‍♂️ Meanwhile, I'm over here crunching watts and optimizing my training zones. Your YouTube vids are cute, but let's talk about the real deal – power output, cadence, and FTP. What's your average watts per kilo, huh? 💪
