This is the story of the creation of Dinsey Mark III, the son of “Path.”
First: “Path” is the name given to Dinsey Mark II. This name was derived from Anne McCaffrey’s “Dragon Riders of Pern,” a fantasy/Sci.Fi. series about a mythical planet with mythical dragons with telepathic and telekinetic powers. “Path” was a Green Dragon ridden by Mirrim in the series.
The Terra based “Path” is ridden by Gary and Judy Dinsmore and was a participant in the 2009 Oregon Human Powered Challenge May 23 through May 25, 2009 at Portland International Raceway. At this time “Path” had accumulated 12, 121 miles in about eight years of riding. Periodically I would meditate over what the next version of the Dinsey series of bicycles might look like and what improvements it might have.
