Recumbent bike broke in half while bikepacking
#1
In the following video, a recumbent bike broke in half while bikepacking far from home.

When you are out on your bike, things can go wrong. Then you do whatever you have to do. He got a ride to the next city, and is now being sent a new frame for his bike.

When things go wrong, you often learn how kind and helpful the locals are.

You can learn about locals' generosity even when things DON'T go wrong..:-)

In the following picture, you can see the locals/strangers who gifted us ice creams. This was while cycling in Colombia this past year.

I think he should get a better sizing or set up. Way too long extension.
