Recumbent Cycles of Utah is an authorized dealer for the full line of
ICE,
RANS, and
SUN recumbent bicycles, as well
Catrike,
Greenspeed,
ICE,
KMX,
SUN, and
TerraTrike recumbent trikes. We stock long wheelbase (lwb) and short wheelbase (swb) recumbent bikes, and both tadpole and delta style trikes.
We are proud to offer a combination of test rides, services, and sales from our Utah location, as well the convenience of online shopping. We ship anywhere in the continental United States, and are happy to do what it takes to make you satisfied and comfortable with your recumbent experience.
You will find that we are not know-it-all gearheads or sponsored pros, nor are we just simple weekend hobbyists. We are regular people living regular lives on irregular bikes. We hope that when you deal with us, you sense our enthusiasm and feel at home in our shop. Besides being a bike dealer, we are a
full-service repair shop for recumbent bikes and trikes. If you have a diamond frame bike, we'll even work on that, too.
Come in to the
shop for a test ride or just to shoot the breeze; shop in our
online store to buy the right combination of products for you; or join us on a
bi-weekly recumbent ride in Utah and show off your triker's grin!
Our goal is to be more than just "the place where you bought your recumbent bike or trike". We want to be YOUR bike store. We want to help you enjoy your recumbent cycling experience as much as you can. For this reason, we post product reviews, articles on technique and repair, routes and trail suggestions, as well as organizing group rides here in Utah to encourage safe riding habits and general get-out-there-and-do-it-ness.
Speaking of rides, if you don't have a recumbent yet, you are still more than welcome to ride along with us. Our rides aren't races. The pace is easy-going so we can enjoy the scenery - one of the great advantages of recumbent bikes and trikes is that you ride in a heads-up position so you can look around and see the sights. We were the first to organize recumbent bike and trike friendly rides. Along with the new bi-weekly rides, we have our traditional
Bent Bike Boogies which we do three times each year. For more information on our rides, check out the
calendar.
Purchasing a recumbent bike or trike is an investment. These aren't your run-of-the-mill discount store machines. Each recumbent manufacturer has painstakingly designed the frames to provide the greatest strength and flexibility, while keeping the weight down. The geometry in steering design on tadpole trikes (two wheels in front that do the steering and one in back that supplies the power) makes them hug the road while cornering and virtually eliminates any tire scrubbing. You have to ride one of these machines to fully appreciate it.
Every model of bike and trike is individual, just like every person who rides them. Some folks ride for fitness and a healthier lifestyle. Others commute in order to be more eco-friendly. And still others ride just because they can. Keeping this in mind, it is impossible to say that one particular model of bike or trike is "the best". For this very reason, we want you to come take a test ride. Ride them all!
If you live in an area where you can come to the shop and test ride, you won't be disappointed. For those of you that live too far away to just drop by, our knowledgeable team can still help you. We'll talk to you to find out what kind of riding you want to do, we'll get the needed measurements from you; then we can recommend the right recumbent bike or trike for you. And when you decide to purchase, we'll assemble and set it up to match your measurements, lovingly pack the fully assembled bike or trike into a giant box and ship it to you. So even if you live in a remote area where no recumbent bike shop is nearby, you can still get and enjoy riding a recumbent bike or trike.
Let us know what we can do to help you start enjoying the ride again. Yes, cycling can be great exercise, but we believe it should also be fun. So explore the world of recumbent bikes and trikes, and make life more fun!
