Sportworks makes a great recumbent-focused rack that will fit either 1-1/4" or 2" receiver-type hitches. If you can get such a receiver mounted to your car,...
Concerning the car rack... Before I became a recumbent rider, I used a Rhode Gear Ultra Shuttle 3 on a '92 Maxima. This rack worked great on that car because...
I have the Cateye Astrale model on my Strada. It's been very helpful to watch my cadence on rides. I wear a Timex heart rate monitor, but would rather have a...

... Hmmmmm... I kind of doubt you can go that low on a Corsa unless you do a major component upgrade and go w/ a Carbon Fiber seat. My Corsero is 27 pounds and...
I have been experiencing a numb leg after riding my Strada for 20 mi or so, could this be caused by the high bottom bracket or is it a seat issue. I actually...
Does anyone have any real life experience that upgrading to a carbon fiber fork such as the Kinesis Carbon Road is worth an expenditure of around $100? Is...
