What’s the sound of two swords whirling through the air and then slicing through an industry to deliver a lethal cut of excitement? It’s probably … “schikt” or “shiss” or if the swords are dull “splorch”. The sound isn’t really important. In fact, it’s a bit of a distraction from the fact that we have

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

Like a few other folks out there, RBR is now on board as a dealer of Trident Trikes. The price/value ratio was just too good to ignore. Here are photos of the Trident Stowaway II – everything you see on the trike is stock. Yes, you read that right. A trike that comes with lights,

I have found no evidence that the Zoomer SL has ever previously been offered in black, so I can not in good conscience say that the SL is “back in black”. But I can say that for an unspecified limited time, the Zoomer SL is available in black for no extra cost.

However, I do not wear my sunglasses at night, because that would just be dangerous. I’m glad that we’ve moved past the irresponsible 1980’s when such behavior was encouraged. That doesn’t change the fact that we had a Challenge Alize in the shop for a brief period before it left with a customer. If you’re
