When you ride a recumbent in Switzerland climbing mountain roads is unavoidable. Dario Ciani designs and builds custom battery/motor systems for trikes, bikes and velomobiles that are meant to conquer these challenging conditions. He owns the "Bike to the Future" recumbent bike shop in Neuchâtel and we were fortunate enough to visit him last month for an interview.
I also made a shorter visit to Grand Rapids, Michigan where I met up with the producers of Recumbent Cycle-Con 2026 Marshall and Kelle Randall. We sat down to talk about why bent riders everywhere should plan to attend this unique event in Xenia, Ohio this September.
