If you were at the 2009 RBR Rally, you might have noticed Rich Sadler’s SWB recumbent folder. If you didn’t notice it, it’s probably because it was folded so small you walked right by it. Rich definitely hasn’t been idle since then. He has formed a business in Butterfly Bicycle LLC and is now selling

RBR customer Steve O. recently got in touch with us with some good news: Since I’ll turn 50 this year (yikes!), I can compete in the Florida Senior Games. They have a recumbent cycling class. Last weekend, I won the 5K and 10K TT’s on my Baron. The most impressive part was that I posted

We’ve assembled the first of our R spec Catrike 700 trikes. We grabbed the graphite frame color with black boom. It also sports red accents on the bar end shifters, dust caps, and tie rod. Oh, and there’s a nifty little flag sticker. So what makes an R an R? The fact that it sports:
