| More stickers! |

Some of you might recall that Denny Vorhees started doing recumbent decals about 9 months ago. Well, a second player has now entered the "market". ABCWings Graphics is now creating recumbent decals and has been known to take requests. At $6 a sticker and $7 a keychain, it's not a bad deal.

Apologies for the delay in getting these posted. As a reward for your patience, I'm including a photo that Rob asked me not to. Sorry Rob.

Registration for the 2009 RBR Recumbent Bike and Trike Rally is now open. We're a flexible lot, so you can register both online and offline as we have harnessed the latest and greatest technology (PayPal, printers) to give you the options you deserve. The registration fee is $60, which gets you the Friday evening buffet, Saturday evening meal and entertainment, the Saturday/Sunday rides, tuning, and demos. If you've never been to an RBR Rally before, be sure to read up on it so you know what to expect. Mostly, though, expect a great time! We'll put together a rally resources guide soon to lay out the local restaurants and lodging. Hits: 198 |
| RBR to carry Carbent |

RBR is proud to announce that we will soon partner with Bent Up Cycles to be the exclusive northeast carrier of the CarBent line of recumbents. Details are still in the works, but we plan to have at least one CarBent on the shop floor for your perusal. Need info and photos? Okay! These beautiful bikes are light-weight, fast and built with the highest quality materials and components! Filament wound carbon fiber tubes yield the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any carbon fiber tubing. Our tubes are custom-wound to exact Carbent HPV specifications, and have a breaking strength of 800,000 psi (as a comparison, titanium 3/2.5 is 89,900 psi and Aluminum 7005 is 50,800 psi). Combine a beautifully hand-built frame with quality components, including Velocity Uriel wheels, FSA Gossamer cranks, and an Ultegra drivetrain, and you get a bike that is truly irresistable. And at less than 19 pounds, you won’t be carrying any extra weight up the next hill. The seat is fixed at 28 degrees. No, it isn’t adjustable. But it means that every watt of power goes directly from your pedals to the rear wheel. This bike will truly amaze you and your riding buddies!

| Converting to 'Recumbentism' |
| Posted by Travis on 2009.01.05 at 23:00:00 | |

Living up to his alias (in a good way), Longfellow of the 'BentRider Online forums posted a great story about his conversion to recumbent riding and the Longbikes Slipstream that has made it so enjoyable. I'd normally just shuttle you over to the forums, but this really deserves to have as wide an audience as possible. So without further ado... When I decided to make the switch from an upright to a recumbent, many recumbent veterans told me to be prepared for using different muscles. Little did I expect them to be my facial muscles.

Enjoy the holidays everybody! Those of you who have been extra nice might find Santa has left a recumbent for you under the tree. Maybe he'll deliver it by trike.

Apologies for that title, but there's little else to be said about jumping on a BionX assisted ICE Trice Q and tearing around the parking lot. And the neighborhood. And the countryside.

| Reverse Gear sale for rally goers |

Well, if you were kind enough to hand over your contact info during the rally, keep an eye out in your e-mail inbox for a code (no, we're not going to reveal it here) that will net you 15% off recumbent men's and women's long-sleeve jerseys good until November 15, 2008. It is already growing chill in the northeast, so the timing couldn't be better. Hits: 406 |
Those of you who attended the 2008 RBR Rally likely remember Reverse Gear , who premiered their recumbent specific clothing line at the pre-rally dinner and then followed up with a booth the day of the rally itself.
