Frame Part 3

[FRAME] Chapter Three from FLWRIDER tv on Vimeo.

Something a little different from Flwrider this time:

For the third chapter in our [FRAME] bi-weekly interviews series, we headed up to the north part of Hong Kong to visit a slightly different retailer focusing his efforts on putting more people on pedal powered transport.

In a slightly more cycling orientated area of Hong Kong, along one of the more well known cycling routes here, is Velocity Racers, a shop that sells the not so obvious form of personal transport that is a recumbent bike. When we found out you could get up to speeds of 100km/h much easier than a conventional road bike, we had to find out more about it.

We met up with Corbett Rowell who has a background in engineering, runs and owns Velocity Racers, about how he got involved with this type of bike, riding around with one and his mission with opening the only recumbent bike shop in Hong Kong and China. Touring the shop, we got to see some real amazing pieces of engineering which we get Corbett to go through and explain the engineering behind the bikes and how they manage to get up to those crazy speeds.
