Frequently Asked Questions

Will a recumbent bike fit on a bus bike carrier?

Rebel Cycles
Most buses use a front rail where the wheels fit into, with a bar that secures over one of the wheels. Fortunately, the wheelbase on a short wheelbase recumbent (like the Ghost and Amigo) is almost the same as a regular bike, so it should fit fine. Just be sure to secure the bar around the 26" rear wheel, if possible.

Can I fit a recumbent bike on my car carrier?

Rebel Cycles
Usually, you can. However, be aware that recumbent bicycles are often a bit longer than a regular bike, so the rear wheel and crank may stick out the sides a bit further than usual. For extended rides, you may want to slide in the boom and remove the rear wheel to reduce the length of the bike.

How fast are recumbent bikes? Can I keep up with my road bike riding buddies?

Like learning to climb a hill, you will need to train for a while until you are able to keep up. Don't expect to just hop on and go as fast as you used to, or you'll be disappointed. Rest assured, eventually you'll be able to keep up. And, you'll be a lot more comfortable than they are! It also depends on the type of recumbent you ride. Some models are more comfort-oriented, while others are designed for speed.

Rebel Cycles
This may take some work, but unless your friend is named Lance Armstrong, you'll eventually be able to keep up. It will take a few weeks or months of training to get your muscles in shape, but you can do it. They may pull ahead on uphill climbs, but you will fly past them on the downhill. You'll most likely be able to keep pace with them on flat or rolling land. Also remember that some trikes are better suited for speed than others.
