re: Supermileage Competitiion 2004 Results Are In !!!

Hello Justin and Robert,

I recently came across your site randomly from a search on google and i must thank you guys for showing our car on your website. I must say that it is one of the most random sites i have ever seen. However, i must also say that our chassis is not similar to the described recumbent cycle for the following reasons:
1. Our chassis is not made of aluminum tubing, but rather an aluminum honeycomb sandwich, which essentially is in a plate configuration which allows us for a rather simple design.
2. We dont have pedals.
3. Our handlebars are more similar to those on a conventional bicycle (horizontal) and are connected using a variety of linkages and rocker arms.

Therefore, the only similarities i find with our chassis and your proposed cycle is that they both contain 3 wheels and yellow elements.

Much love,

The UBC Supermileage Team
