We travel to Rennes, France after Spezi 2026 to meet up with Philippe DesCubes. He is a recumbent trike world champion racer and also just happens to own a highly regarded recumbent bike shop named Velofasto. Philippe walks us through his amazing shop and then we talk about his racing achievements. He also specializes in adaptive mobility so we take a trip to meet a brave young man who has overcome his severe limb loss to ride with his family once again-thanks to a very special trike modified by Philippe.
