In this episode, industry veteran Jeff Wills takes us back to the wild early 1980s American recumbent revolution and the legendary Aerocoupe human-powered trike born in the Southern California HPV racing scene. Hear incredible stories from the 1980 Speed Championships at Ontario Motor Speedway, where experimental “streamliners” challenged the traditional bicycle establishment.
We’ll also talk about the upcoming SPEZI 2026 in Freiburg, Germany—the world’s largest recumbent cycling event—and preview what visitors can expect this April. Don’t miss it!
