<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Hello all MARS-members!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am a actice bent-user (and a small producer) from Finland.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am visiting NYC 20-25th Dec as a tourist with my adult son (he is<br>
<br>
playing ice hockey in Hershey PA). We are staying in a Manhattan Hotel<br>
<br>
(Muse).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
For 5 or 6 years ago we were doing the same trip and then we had a<br>
<br>
plan to meet a few recumbent owners i Central Park BUT a very bad<br>
<br>
snow storm made the meeting impossible....<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I suppose many of bent people have stored their vehicles over the winter?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
And this Xmas week will be busy for even recumbists?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Anyway.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Just let you know that bents are, little by little, slowly beeing more<br>
<br>
popular in Europe, an in Finland. Perhaps there is now some hundreds<br>
<br>
bents in Finland.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am producing a trike called "Härmäpyörä". Not a big business, more a hobby.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Here some pictures:<br>

HärmäPyörä is the first and only fabically produced Finnish recumbent.<br>

<br>
It has 3x8 gears with Nexus8 on back wheel. Back wheel 26"and 20"<br>
<br>
