Bicycle Man's HiWheel Header

Bicyclemanonhiwheel

Peter Stull (hear his amazing story on the podcast he and I did together)  the famous owner of Bicycle Man, one of the world's largest recumbent bicycle shops (visible from outer space no less) said it was OK to repost  this email he sent me after seeing how some people  mount hiwheels in France (below if you missed it):

The first time I rode my high wheel (1879 patent date Gormley & Jeffrey American Champion)  a passerby asked how do you get off and it occurred to me, I did not  know! So I rode back home and yelled for a friend to phone another friend who had several high wheels to find out.


Up and down the road, I pedaled.  A while passed. He came back outside and told me  there was no answer. But that he did leave a message! 


Wondering what to do next, I kept riding.  On a 60" wheel, I was almost a foot taller than most high wheel bikes when it solved the problem for me. It fell off. It was then that I learned what a header was when I  flew over the handlebars....

Linear Roadster named Bent of the Year

In watching Peter Stull overhaul the SWB Linear Sonic here over the last half a decade or more, I knew what he was creating was going to be epic.  Well, now named the  Roadster, it has even wowed the Bent Rider On Line people. So much so, that they are calling it the Bike of the Year for 2011 HERE.

To back this contention up, do see the well articulated review they did of this amazing machine HERE!!

The hour we spent  talking to Mike Librik, the owner of Easy Street Recumbents, was only enough to scratch the surface of all the many bicycle worlds he lends his zeal to. In the words ahead you will begin to understand the large part Mike is playing in making the small city of Austin, TX so well known as the quality of life bicycle city it is on a national level.

Hear the Power of Relationships - Rapid Transit Chicago Style

I was finally able to lock two dynamic powerhouses down to one place at one time so I can now show you why I am so excited about what I have learned about them over the course of our 15 years of business dealings. Far more than selling bikes, they will help you see, in the words ahead, how it has been nurturing the relationships that result that has so deeply endeared their Rapid Transit Cycles shop to the Chicago bicycle landscape. Ladies and gentleman, I present long time NBG supporters , the amazing husband and wife team of Chris Stoddard and Justyna Frank
