Description
Today’s Van & Trike Tour episode takes us to Texas for a ride with Mike from “Trike with Mike Texas” and John from John’s Trikes & Bikes in Lancaster, Texas.
We head out on what was supposed to be a peaceful “no traffic” countryside ride… which immediately turns into a running joke as cars keep appearing every few minutes. 😂 Along the way we talk recumbent trikes, adaptive cycling, Texas history, the Alamo, AI storytelling, and John’s mission to spread recumbent riding to more people through mobile demo events and test rides.
This episode became less about speed and more about the people behind the trikes — the stories, personalities, and passion that make the recumbent community so unique.
We also tour John’s incredible shop filled with ICE, AZUB, Greenspeed, Steintrikes, Hase, Catrike, adaptive cycles, and more.
