You probably know by know that Flying Furniture sells the best and broadest range of recumbent
bikes and trikes in Australia as well as the ULTIMATE upright folding bike designs from Airnimal Designs in the UK...
...and it is still the ONLY place to test rides around 30 to 40 recumbents and the best folding and touring bikes around...
A test ride of several brands and models *side by side* here is worth a thousand biased owner web reviews!.

This is CATRIKE'S take on a fast fast bike concept - a comfy and fast bike for both mountains or long flat rides
with rear vision mirror and SPD included.
Yes you can fit a rear rack and take it touring too...it is strong and comfortable - 12kg.
Includes free freight across Australia and $200 worth of accessories or upgrades of your choice.
#2 One 2010 NEW BACCHETTA CORSA (BLACK) - available - arriving soon! Wow super fast and super comfy!
This is a super fast perfect Audax ready bike for both extreme Alpine mountains or long flat rides with mirror included.
Just add racks and take it touring overseas eg in France for PBP 2011 for several months too!
The combination of super efficient frame and lightweight reliable components hits a sweet spot of high performance.
#3 One 2010 NEW BACCHETTA GIRO 26 (Red 2010 model) large size - only $2090 ! Wow fast and super comfy!
This is a super verstatile and fast commuting and touring ready bike with triple cranks and ready to go!
The 2010 Giro 26 has a cromoly steel frame and cromoly steel fork.
It is the recumbent world's equivalent of the Surly Long Haul Trucker - but just much more comfortable and faster.
The Giro 26 is a perfect bike for pretty much
everything you want to do, touring in mountains or long fast rides with slick tyres fitted.
Mirror and flat pedals are included.
Just add racks (underseat and rear racks to carry four panniers) and add a seat back bag too
and take it self supported touring anywhere for the weekend or for weeks or months on the road!
The combination of super efficient frame and ultra-reliable components hits the sweet spot that BACCHETTA are known for.
Bacchettas are so light, so stiff, so efficient, so fast, so easy to ride! Sweet!
See www.bacchettabikes.com
The BACCHETTAs are among the best quality, best value AND best climbers in the recumbent scene and actually
climb better than many lighter bikes - hence the many recumbent road racing victories - due to their easy
rolling larger wheels on race models but most importantly just the straight "ovalised/egg shape profile" very
very efficient main frame tube design which transfers most efficiently the leg power to the rear drive wheel.
BACCHETTAs don�t have suspension but they are very very well designed and the standard �RECURVE�
and �EUROMESH� seats are extremely comfortable, well padded and work to soak up the road vibrations
� almost a suspended ride without the extra cost, extra weight and extra complexity. Test riders
here tell me the BACCHETTA seats are the most comfortable of all the recumbent seats. And, of
course they are �highracer seats� � a high seat, higher than a car driver.
AND ....
The new ZIGO Leader Child transport trike, stroller, jogger and trailer system is now available!
...And at much better than RRP ie A Total Zigo kit with combined one or two child carrier and bike, second
harness, stroller kit, trailer kit, rain cover and rear rack is just $2150 here!
The Zigo uses a 7 speed WIDE RANGE hub/enclosed gear system and WITHIN 30 SECONDS changes modes...
The Zigo� Leader� is a multifunctional carrier bicycle for transporting children that transforms in an instant
into a light-weight sporty bike and separate stroller. Thanks to the ingenious patent-pending Leaderlink� system,
the Zigo� Leader� transforms between modes within 30 seconds even while your child remains seated.
