I met Steve Roberts at Expo '86 to
which I brought my first attempt at an amphibious bike, the
Lampi Limo.
I have been a member of the IHPVA for decades, and really got into pure
HPB's in the early 90's, starting with a paddlewheel canoe (
Dakanu) and graduating to an
all-weather Escapade and a Cadence in the years since.
Greatest distance traveled by HPB in a day: 26 miles. This was actually
in a race and completed in 4.5 hours, using Bob Stuart's
Lilac pedal kayak.
Greatest distance traveled by Escapade in a day: 18 miles (approx.)
When I'm not pedaling my boat I keep in shape by running up the hills
in my neighborhood. The muscles used are just about the same as used in
recumbent pedaling.
I'm a member of the
Sound Rowers and like to race against some really
fast boats, taking pictures as conditions allow.
