To all trike and recumbent enthusiasts,

Would you like to find other riders and discover more trails? There is a way to meet other riders and get organized through a website called trikegroups.com. My name is MaryAnn, and I learned of this website from Angletech and would like to invite you to the first of many trike group rides in Colorado Springs. This is an informal group ride, meaning we ride for fun, it’s free, and every rider supplies their own trike, helmet, and whatever else they need. The ride is on June 3rd at 8:30 am. We will meet at Angletech. The ride is about 16 miles to America the Beautiful Park and back to Angletech along the Sinton and Santa Fe trails. What you need to do is just show up. This event will be posted on the website. To find out more go to trikegroups.com.

        1)  go to trikegroups.com
        2)  do steps for Register/Login
        3)  click confirmation email
        4)  find our group: click BROWSE GROUPS or GROUP MAP and search by state (our group is called "FRONT RANGE TRIKES AND RECUMBENTS")
        5) click on VIEW GROUP
        6) click on JOIN GROUP  (green rectangle on right hand side)
        7) wait for a confirmation ( I have to do that)

If you browse through the website, you will discover that there are riders and groups all over the US. You can meet other riders from the rides or through your profile. Any member can post an event. Hopefully, many of you will post events for others to join you.

Hope to see you on June 3rd

MaryAnn

bicycleman.com article RANS V2 Velocity2 (squared) Recumbent Bicycle

New in 2000 the RANS Velocity squared (also known as V-2).

This bike is designed to be the fastest RANS bike made. It probably was till the RANS Force 5 models arrived. It is a good value at under $1400, (without a fairing.) The Velocity squared got a lower price and a less expensive parts group in 2002, and it still works very well. The V-2 uses a larger diameter, thinner wall frame tubing than previous RANS models, making it stiffer without added weight. The stiffening makes the bike faster, particularly noticeable on sprints and climbs. Rotator and Lightning have used large, thin-wall tubing for some time, it is harder to work with but the ride is worth it.

Its 20” (406) front wheel fits a much larger variety of tires than the 20x1 1/8 (451) found on the Haluzak Hybrid-Race and the Easy Racers “SS” models. The 406 is available from (several) thin racing tires to fat, rugged touring tires and many types in-between, depending on the type of riding you’ll be doing this summer. On a tour you will find functional spare tires in bike shops that think “recumbent” is another name for a used bike (yes, this has happened.)

Tall riders, over 6’2” and camping tourists over 5’10” or so should consider the XL frame version. Taller riders may find reaching the handlebars to be a stretch, especially if they like to recline their seat much. The velocity squared offers comfortable high performance and a good value.

Great ride, comfortable seat, excellent choice of components. With the Mueller WindWrap in place, this is the only ride for our cold Vermont early spring/late fall seasons.

        After thinking about the rides and education from yesterday, the Rans V-2 seems to be the bike for me.
        
        I will call after the store opens to talk some more.

peterwhitecycles.com/schmidt Schmidt's Original Nabendynamo

The Schmidt Dynamo front hub or SON (Schmidt's Original Nabendynamo) is extremely reliable and has almost no drag. Made by Wilfried Schmidt Maschinenbau in Tübingen, Germany, the hub is quiet and is designed to give at least 50,000 kilometers of trouble free riding between servicings. The hub powers many different six volt headlights including Schmidt's own E6 halogen models, the Schmidt Edelux and Edelux II LED headlight, both halogen and LED headlamps (as well as taillights) made by Busch & Müller in Meinerzhagen, Germany, Supernova lights from Germany, and Spanninga lights from France. When your bicycle can make its own light, it becomes a reliable means of transportation, not just a toy or play thing for an afternoon's entertainment or exercise. With an automobile, you take its lights for granted. You get in the car, turn on a switch, and drive on down the road with the light you need. With the SON, you can take quality lighting on your bicycle for granted, just as you do in a car, making your bicycle just as convenient to use for everyday transportation as an automobile, but without the environmental degradation. Who knows, you may even decide that you no longer require an automobile.
