Bicycle, VelocarThis racing version of the 'Velocar' recumbent bicycle was made by Charles Mochet in France in 1933. It was a short-lived attempt to reduce drag and achieve greater speeds for cycle racing. Shortly after this the governing body of cycle racing banned their use and although a few road-going versions were produced, the design remained dormant until recent times. This example uses narrow high pressure 18 inch tyres. Steering is achieved through a shaft and bevel gear arrangement. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
