“I Lost EVERYTHING on My Trip to Europe… Even the TRIKE!

On August 29, 2025, I started my journey from Detroit to Vienna for the AZUB 25th Anniversary Ride and Event… and in true JaYoe fashion, things immediately went sideways.

Before I even made it out of north america airport, I managed to lose my microphone, my tripod, my selfie stick, and—of course—the big one—
MY TRIKE. AGAIN.

What followed was a frantic, multi-country relay involving airline staff in Detroit, Montreal, Frankfurt, and Vienna all trying to track down one wandering cardboard box containing a very precious, very missing AZUB recumbent trike.

Normally when my trike disappears in transit (and yes, this is not the first time), I have a few days of buffer to let it catch up. But this time? No chance. I needed that trike to meet me in Vienna the moment I landed, because the anniversary ride began immediately.

This video captures the worry, the chaos, the running-between-terminals panic… and the hope that somehow everything would come together before the first pedal stroke in Europe.

Huge thanks to AZUB for hosting such an incredible event, and for building a trike worth chasing across continents.
