The fine folks at ICE took advantage of the recent winter weather in Cornwall to ride their ICE trikes on, well, the ICE. Looking at the layer of ice on that loading dock, all I could think was “They would be so busted by OSHA in the US.”

The right to bare arms
While the temperatures in central Pennsylvania have been dropping, they’re not nearly as cold as they usually are. Our riding season has been mercifully extended by Mama Nature and carbon dioxide emissions. But as the region cools into winter, it becomes time to take a look in the closet for our winter riding gear. Head

Hidden somewhere deep on a hard drive (videosinterbike2010 … okay, not that deep) is video footage we shot at Interbike in conjunction with Recumbent Journal. Here’s the first video to leave the vault: the HP Velotechnik Gekko fx on the Interbike show floor being folded and unfolded. We went with the spy music as an

We’ve received notice from ICE that they’re running a bit of a trike photo contest. All photos have to include a trike (any make or model, but I bet they’d prefer if it were an ICE) and can’t be radically altered in Photoshop (or Paintshop Pro or MS Paint or GIMP or MacPaint or Deluxe

As we can see with the myriad designs of recumbents, the human capacity for ingenuity is limitless. So it should not come as a shock that somebody has designed a cycling airbag as a helmet replacement. Here’s some video… This helmet could actually be a danger on a recumbent if it were to inflate unexpectedly.

RBR’s first customer, Jay ‘BentJay’ Singer, continues to purchase his recumbents from us. His latest addition is a brand new Challenge Alize in a bright shade of green. We’ve done photos of a yellow Alize in the past, but those photos were practically in the dark. Instead, take a look at what will likely be

We’ve fallen into the habit of coming up with weird names for the Catbike Musashi recumbent. We’ve had our Blusashi with the strikingly blue frame. We’ve had the Mushorti which featured the more recent short frame variation of the Musashi. And now, we have possibly the worst name pun yet… The Musocki. Yes, Rob has

No, this is not a sequel to “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”. And you’re a bit weird if you mentally made that connection based just on the title. What we have instead is a short video from the 20 mile ride at the 2010 RBR Rally. On this ride was a Kett/Anura three trike train led
