archival and resource material for human powered recumbent tricycles

Expedition Trikers

Some trikers ride around town, getting groceries, exercise, or taking their dog for a walk. Some trikers leave town and hit the country roads. Some trikers ride from one town to the next. Some trikers leave the state and head out cross country. And other trikers leave the country altogether and make the world their playground.

Below are some websites of a few trike pilots who have ventured beyond the city limits, whether for a few hundred miles or several thousand. They ride all kinds of trikes with all types of cargo configurations. Some set stealth camps at night in the woods. Others check in to convenient motels. Some carry loads of food for long hauls across deserts, while others travel with a credit card from one market to the next. Whatever mode of travel they choose, and however far they go, all relish the feeling of the open road and trail, seeking adventure out where the normal life ends.

Paul Pritchard

The Journey across the Himalayas

See here what is possible on a recumbent trike by a true adventurer who does not stop at anything to keep living life to the fullest. This may well be the most inspiring overland trike journey I have witnessed to date! What a ride …

This is an Award winning film from Griffon Media about Paul Pritchard’s recumbent trike ‘pilgrimage’ to Mount Everest. Accompanied by Carol Hurst, this ride took them on an amazing 1150 kilometer journey across the Himalaya Mountains, from Lhasa to Kathmandu via Everest Base Camp.
