Wally Swarchuk took 16 years to design and build his dream . This retired geography teacher from Canada began with no skills or experience in building bikes. He taught himself to weld and experimented with many prototypes before coming up with his current Tilt4orce Velocar. We hear his incredible story and then have our old friend Dr. Craig Cornelius evaluate this project using his many years of experience building his own tilting trikes.

Finally, our own bent triathlete Larry Seidman gives us a report from the 2025 Senior Games held near Des Moines, Iowa last summer.
