- This is the video for the 7th BHPC even in Bath, published quite a bit later than usual.
As usual, a lot of various recumbent bikes, tricycles and a few "normal " upright bike racing against each other

What a delightful mix of wildly different machines. So cool!
Great video, David. And great to meet you and everyone else. Nigel was very determined to make me suffer in that second race.
That Bueno was really flying. Can't imagine if he was 20-30 years younger. Need more young blood to show the world how fast/efficient recumbent are. This was really entertaining with your commentaries. Do more vids please.
A bike could not beat another bike.......just the riders....
Yes, the riders are a big part of the equation
As a Frenchman it's sometimes a bit hard to understand but still a good laugh.
Great video
Really entertaining
Love human powered racing
Forgive me and not to be pedantic but is the low racer with two large wheels a mid ? The seat height and bottom look higher for a low racer could be wrong though.
Awesome content!😊
Hilarious. Not had such a good laugh in a long time. Next you should do a mobility scooter/zimmer frame race.
Yep, the upright should have been in the fast race.
That yellow bike in the slow race you say it’s a challenge Fujin?? It seems to have 2x 700 wheels?
I believe it's actually a Challenge Jester.
As Kim says - Challenge Jester with 700 rear and 559 front - modified by previous owner @BikeItBen1. Less rolling resistance than with the 406 original wheel but less stable at slow speeds.
That speedo on the lower left of the screen is subtle and easily missed, but wow, you were flying. It seems that your command of the English language is only matched by your speed on your bike.
Thanks, in bath I was actually not fast enough to get ahead of the unfaired category

Misleading to all but those who want to be misled. 1. two wheel bike should only be compared; 2. flat surface that gives 2 wheel bents an advantage; 3. riders are fast. Not bikes. 4. two wheel velos have massive aero advantage. Waste of film.
What exactly are you on about? It's an open race, open to anyone. There are different categories and classifications within each race, with riders competing not just for an overall win. A mixed field, just like GT car racing and endurance racing etc. Riders are fast and not bikes? Well, if you must state the obvious, then fine. Of course, if you put a world class cycle racer, riding a Raleigh Chopper, in to this race, they would still lose... because WHAT you ride has a huge bearing on HOW you ride. People are having fun whatever they're riding. Your comment was a waste of time.
