  • An epic ride to Ipswich and back from London with a complete Velomobile novice. We used a Milan SL MK 7 and a Snoek Velomobile, from www.velomobile... and en.velomobiel.nl/ respectively.
    Lets see how this all pans out.

    We've missed you John! Glad to see you back. Though not fair posting a hot sunny video road trip in the middle of winter. Roll on the summer and getting my velomobile finished and on the road. Hope to see you at the BHPC races next year.

    What a fantastic journey. Those velo's really shift. I'm currently plummeting into the rabbit hole of recumbent bikes and your channel is a goldmine of information. Thank you 👍

    I was stationed at Lakenheath back in the 90s. I drove through Ipswich many times and will agree they have a lot of roundabouts.
