Subject: New here - Where to buy?
|
Hi folks,
I'm new here, though I have been lurking a while and lately it has been
pretty quiet as far as real discussions go. I am in the ket for a
recumbent (or will be, once I can collect the fund$)...
I live in London, Ontario (that's in Canada). London is located about
halfway between Detroit, Michigan and Toronto. So far I have only seen one
shop in London that has recumbents and not many at that. Does anyone know
of any good shops in this vicinity? I know about the Bicycle Man in Alfred
Station, NY, but that's 4-5 hours away, so If you know any, let me know.
Thanks!
Larry

If you're in London, you must have come across the HPV group there as they
are very active. Contact these guys:

You might also want to consider a Wazabike. The builder is in
Hamilton.

I assume that you have visited First Cycleworks? Another recumbent
seller is Urbane Cycles (www.ucycle.com)in Toronto on John Street and
there is also Triketrails ( www.triketrails.com)in Whitby.
There will be a recumbent bike show during the London Bike Festival, on
Wednesday June 8 between 7:00 and 9:00 AM at the Covent Garden ket,
King and Talbot Streets. Expect to see several different recumbents
there including some homebuilt bikes. Monday June 6 there will be a
talk on building recumbent trikes at the Central Library, on Dundas
Street, from 7 to 9 PM.

Thanks for the info. Yes I have been to First Cycleworks a few times.
They seem like a great bunch of people working there, however, their
selection is a little limitted. Hopefully I can make it out to the LBF.
Thanks for the heads up on that, and the other stores in TO and Whitby.

Larry,
It's a hike, but spend a day at the Bicycle Man who is knowledgeabl
and has a ton of bents to try. Test riding is one of the best thing
you can do in your decision

Other than a bike you are going to occasionally putt around the
neighborhood on, you need to test ride 'bents if even briefly
to see how the major design elements, SWB/LWB/CLWB, ASS/USS,
M5/full mesh, tiller/linkage steering, 16"/20"/26"/700c feel to you.
