The Recumbent Bicycle

This is the only book all about recumbent bicycles.

It covers the whole gamut: history, science, sports, touring, city-use, innovations, design and home-building.

It is unbiased as regards makes and models of bikes. Instead, it explains the effects of all the kinds of features found on recumbents, offering pro’s and con’s and leaving it to the reader to judge based on their needs. Recumbents are the most varied bikes on earth in terms of intended design goals, so radically different models are all great bikes for certain riders. All types get plenty of respect in this book! With this info and insight, plus plenty of test-riding, anyone can find the right bike for them!

The first edition sold thousands, with rave reviews. This fully-revised 2nd edition offers hundreds of new B&W and color photos, manufacturer listings and current news items.
