Great Bike

By Hubzone37 from Lubbock, Texas on 8/29/2009

Pros:

Handles Well, Great Components, Lightweight, Durable, Attractive Design

Best Uses:

Commuting

Describe Yourself:

Casual Cyclist

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is my second recumbent, my first was the sun EZ-1 which my wife rides now. I love this bike, easy to ride, relaxing can go for unlimited miles. Wish there were more accessorys. I did get a ram iPhone holder for Imapmyride. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a recumbent.

Great Reliable and Quiet

By Recumbent and Loving It from Scottsdale, AZ on 3/16/2009

Pros:

Great Components, Attractive Design, Durable, Handles Well

Best Uses:

Road Biking

Describe Yourself:

Casual Cyclist

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I ride this on weekends 50 – 100 miles. It is comfortable, quick and quiet. With many adjustable components it is easily taylored to fit anyone. I don’t like putting a metal triangle carrying device on the rear wheel so I would like to have a customized bag for the back seat attachment. Similar to handle bar size and weight. Highly recommend this bike for anyone with back problems that can’t ride long distances on a standard bike.

Here is a sample of what we have in stock.

Cosmic Carbone SL

Ksyrium SL

R-Sys

Ksyrium Elite

They use a dual pivot mechanism to increase braking force, and hardware is a mix of titanium and 7075 aluminum.  Besides the good looks, they have a few cool features.  There’s a quick release lever on the cable adjustment barrel that opens up 4mm of space to ease wheel changes, and the brake pad holsters and bolts are 7075 alloy.  MSRP is $399.95 for the set.

ATLAS INDUSTRIAL BICYCLES & TRICYCLES

If you’ve got something heavy to move the Atlas Industrial Cargo Trike can take it.  Built with an extra oversized heavy duty hi-tensile steel frame and reinforced rear deck meant for the sole purpose of hauling loads up to 250 lbs. This heavy-duty hauler comes standard with 12-gauge spoked steel wheels, front cantilever brakes with parking lock, rear band brake, dual spring cruiser saddle, and heavy-duty tires.  Weight Capacity:  500 lbs.  (250 lbs. passenger and 250 lbs. cargo) 

A new generation in style and industrial stamina.  The Atlas X-Type took the best of our original Atlas then added an all new x-type frame to accommodate men and women alike. Upon closer inspection you’ll find increased strength and durability with the addition of a chromoly fork, handlebar with reinforcing cross-bar, 3-bolt alloy stem, alloy platform pedals, and chrome plated fenders.  These industrial grade features are then blended with weather resisting benefits of a sealed bottom bracket and headset, 12g stainless steel spokes, and rust resistant chain to complete this assemblage of versatility and reliability.

Oakley just “doesn’t make a new shade, they put the time, effort, energy and money to make sure they are developing the best product.

A recumbent bicycle is a bike that places the rider in a laid-back “reclining” position.  The advantage of a recumbent bicycle is that it more ergonomic; providing a more comfortable riding position than traditional bikes. But don’t be fooled by the comfort, a recumbent bicycle currently holds the world’s speed record for a bicycle!

If riding a recumbent is easy and comfortable, then riding a recumbent trike is even better. With a recumbent trike, the rider gets the comfort and mechanical pedaling advantage along with the stability and confidence a trike brings. “I had good control while riding down the street. After the third time up and down the street I thought: “Yeah baby, this is wonderful and I’m hooked!” exclaimed an excerpt from Recumbent & Tandem Rider Magazine.

“All things considered, I do think the trike is a good value for anyone interested in riding for recreation, fitness, or commuting,” said BentRider magazine, a publication devoted to recumbent bicycles.
