Confused by trade names

[Chris Mooney]

Help a confused would be bent driver. Is there a reliable publication that has a reasonable
synopsis of the current makes and models? Reading this ng because of it's international basis means
that for me in the UK I don't know if I'm looking at something that's sold here, Europe, USA or
Timbuktu. Any clues?

http://www.bentrideronline.com/ has buyers guide and product reviews.

http://www.liegerad.com/hersteller/ will tell you where the company is located and what types of
recumbent they make. (short wheel base, long wheel base etc.)

Ah there is a fatal flaw in that ruse. The last time I had such a notion concerning an open top
sports car she ended up driving it practically every day of the week for work and I only get to
drive it on a European motoring holiday once a year! Recently we hired 2 standard bikes whilst on
holiday. It's been 45 years since she last got off a bike. She hadn't moved out of the hire yard
before she fell off and damaged her shoulder. She's vowed she will never ride another. So you see
it's not permission I need. Just the cash!

You could order online and have any bent anywhere. Though the price goes up if it's exported.

Maybe you are really looking for local dealers? There is at least Bikefix in UK:
http://www.bikefix.co.uk/

Another idea is to take a trip to the Netherlands which have a quite good supply of recumbents.

For manufacturer websites, have a look at
http://www.ihpva.org/SourceGuide/Vehicles/index.html#recumbents and
http://www.mikebentley.com/bike/bents/

Keep reading and in a few months you will most of the time recognize the model from the cryptic
messages here

People on both sides of the pond(s) often refer to places and things in such a familar fashion that
many times I have to ask "Where in hell is that?" I did eventually figure out that Battle Mountain
is in Nevada, USA. I like Velovision for a Euro-centric perspective http://www.velovision.co.uk/
cheers, rorschandt

Chris,

All you need is the cash? That's easy. Just tell your wife you want to buy a $2000 adult toy. I'm
sure she'll go for it!
