Hello,

I am scheduled to have another All Abilities Cycling Seminar this coming Sunday, May 18, at the Vienna Community Building from 1 PM to 4 PM. The March seminar was a success with people testing adaptive bikes either inside the building or on the W&OD Trail which runs along the side of the building. I enjoyed meeting people from Maryland, District of Columbia, and Virginia.

Please join me this Sunday. I'll have recumbents, tandems, and trikes which can be adapted to a wide range of cycling needs. To whet your interest I'm including some links that show some of the products that will be on display:

This Volae Tour has a number of upgrades. I like the Avocet Cross K tires. You can see the Sure Grip straps on the pedals. There is a mirror. We are doing a brake and gear tune up to make it run even better.

This bike will get you into the dual 26" wheel world. You should be able to go faster and climb hills better. I'm not promising the ability to leap tall buildings.

This Vision has 105 components. We added new grip shifters. It is lean, fast, and in excellent condition. If you are seeking a lively ride then you need to come test this recumbent.

We sold our rental Tail Wagon and then someone came in and wanted to rent one. So we set this unit up for a single rental. Now we'd like to sell this trailer. The MSRP is $300 so at $225 this is a good price.

The Tail Wagon accommodates a smaller dog (under 40 pounds). It connects to the quick release at the rear wheel.

You may recall that I tried it out with Java in the trailer and it did handle a much larger dog.

This Giro was sadly not ridden much before being traded back to us. The bike has a kickstand and it is in excellent condition.

The former owner selected a crank forward bike as his new selection.

This Trek Trailer will carry two young ones. The trailer is in good condition with miles of fun and enjoyment.

In the entry below I describe our investigation into adaptive cycling equipment. This trail-a-bike is one of the products that I brought in during my investigation.

This two wheel trail-a-bike provides additional stability for the young rider. It attaches to an adult bike and allows an adult rider to take longer rides with the young person. This is a sample which has not been sold or rented. A perfect family holiday gift can be your's.

Last year this time I ordered several adaptive products to evaluate whether or not bikes@vienna could be successful selling these products. This is the adaptive trike from Kentex which I believe could be a good alternative for families with children who have special needs, but to make it work we'd have to import containers of trikes and I decided that I could not find a way to sell hundreds.

So, I offer this one sample at attractive savings to you. Look closely and you can see the push bar to allow an adult to assist the rider. The seat can be adjusted to fit the needs of the rider for support. The multiple position handlebar is an asset. This trike could brighten a young person's holiday. Please come see it

This short wheelbase recumbent has disc brakes. It features the confortable Sun seat with lots of adjustability. This price is less than half of the new sales price. Come test ride it.

I found a new home for the Taiko that lived here forever. Now I'm working on adoption of this Canto. It is the same story. I bought too many Burley recumbents. This bike has not been sold and has been test ridden too few times. As a result it is still here.

The Canto can be configured as a long or short wheel base. This bike is in good condition and yes, I will ship it. The price includes packing the bike, but not the charge for shipping.

It is Fall and a wonderful time to walk with your young ones. This Twinner from Baby Jogger is in good condition and ready to get you out exploring. Priced at half what you would pay for a new model this may be just right for you.

Advanced Transportation Products has gone out of business, but their Vision models continue to be popular with recumbent riders. This R-32 would be a terrific first recumbent. We've added new Big Apple tires to make the ride even smoother. Do you want to ride a recumbent on the C&O Canal? This R-32 would be a good choice.

Please be advised that we believe test riding is important to making a good choice in purchasing a recumbent. For this reason we are reluctant to ship bikes.
