Intro My name is Chase Manley. I was born in 1993, I'm a bicycle mechanic, mountain biker, gravel rider & bike commuter, welder and as a hobby I design & fabricate recumbent trikes housed in aerodynamic shells (AKA velomobiles).I have been doing this since I was 17 years old. I built my first velomobile from the ground up over my junior & senior year of high school to travel from Chicago, IL to Fort Collins, CO with a friend from France. I called the trip Trike Trek '11. My creations up to this point have been experimental demonstrations of the capability of the human body to transport itself efficiently & comfortably. Goal To inspire and enable others to build their dream machines by way of video demonstration and the creation of comprehensive plans to guide them through the entire process.
