All Wheel Suspension for non Suspension Recumbent.

Because you don’t have your legs to absorb the shock from writing, a recumbent bike can be a rough ride, and during the commute that can bone jarring. These new loop wheel can be retrofitted to your Recumbent and turn your bike into a smooth ride. Here are some great follow up links

Blue Print for safe Commuting on a Bike.

Portland has many of the issues with commuting by bike like South Florida. However they are developing a blue print for change. Please check out there plan for the today and  future http://btaoregon.org/blueprint/.
below is a shot of the plan downtown this would be get for Miami's and Fort Lauderdale's downtown. This solution is supporting bikers by putting the island on the side not down the middle. making it more safe for everyone bikers and  folks walking.
Also this is a great solution that I have biked on in Portland along rivers or canals like we currently have all through Fort Lauderdale. 
Broward County could learn a lot from this blueprint.

You have to love Cruzbike


You have to love Cruzbike and there willingness to give back to everyone. If you haven't heard buy a Crusbike and they will discount it for a $100 and give $100 for new brain cancer research closer to adoption. That is a win win I think I will need an new bike for that kind of class. Check it out at Cruzbike

Folding Recumbent

I have never had any issue transporting my recumbent however my is a short wheel base recumbent it was easy to get on the bus and on the lite rail. However flying is a different issue. That was make a folding recumbent nice. DownTube has a nice 9 speed out for under $600
 Add the Cruzbike conversion for 395
and for under 1000 you have a folding Recumbent you can take on the Plane or Boat.

the Other Side of Recumbent

I am not a big fan of this side of the Recumbent family. However this bike has a lot going for it. One thing is it folds, even the wheels. I am very big on the direct drive solution on this bike, I hate chains. Some of the other things I would think is it would climb better than most Recumbent.
