Was tough event (understatement). Entering Istanbul was hell from what I could pick up on their blog!</p> <p>Angélique &amp; Guillaume give a guided tour in French of their Quetzal solar recumbent here. They came fifth. Another Nazca bike arrived at same time in fifth place. Azub also had trikes bikes as did Hase with recumbents making sense over such a long course (plus having space for solar panels).<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h78Kazn906s&amp;feature=player_embedded" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h78Kazn906s&amp;feature=player_embedded</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10447#post-114359 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 06:21:18 +0000 Nelly 114359@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Gembo, yep lots of great - but tricky - cycling.
