Sidewinder Cycles recently posted a message on the RBR Facebook page, which brought me to the realization that we didn’t have a set of photos for the Pro Cruiser or the Roadrunner. Well, we sold the Roadrunner before I could get my camera out, but our Pro Cruiser sat still just long enough for me

This is the year of putting presidents on bents. I guess that would make them presibents. You might recall that we’ve posted a couple of items regarding Obama on recumbents, but now we’re going back, way back courtesy of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien who shows us a grand new design for the US

Granted, what I’m about to reveal is not all that Earth-shattering, but it is an RBR exclusive news item! You heard it here first. Or, rather, are about to hear it. As soon as I get to it. It seems that the paint scheme of the TerraTrike Cruiser has changed ever so slightly to now

We’re so used to seeing Optima low racers go through the shop that it is somewhat shocking to assemble and ride something like the Optima Orca SWB bike with its dual 26″ wheels.

UPDATE: Yeah… uh… The Villager has had a 27 speed option for a while now. This has nothing to do with the new Catrike model rumor. Sorry about that. The rumor mill is currently grinding about news that a new Catrike is on the way. Believe it or not, I’m not usually privy to such

Oh no… I can’t believe I so quickly went for the pun! This is what happens when I go for a week without posting anything new. The pent up need to be clever surfaces in terrible and frightful ways. But not as terrible and frightful as a man so requiring potassium that he decides to

Recumbent news is new? Then what’s all this blogging stuff? Believe me, I understand the potential for confusion, but here’s the deal. The Blog is where we chat about the shop, present original content (photos, videos, articles), and let the resident blogger yammer on about cycling in general and recumbents in particular. Recumbent News is
