K<\/strong><\/span>eep your listening turned up for some exciting interviews with long-time giants in the recumbent and upright bicycle worlds.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

First up on June 15, I’ll be talking to the legendary Pete Penseyres and how he trained on Tim Brummer’s super fast Lightning Cycle Dynamics\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>recumbent for his 1986 RAAM world record of 3107 miles in 8 days, 9 hours, and 47 minutes that stood the test of time for 28 years.<\/p>\n

\n

And as I continue the research for what will be in my Recumbent History talk at the Recumbent Cycle-Con Trade Show & Convention<\/strong><\/a> in Cincinnati in September, I keep getting reminded of the stuff of legends that is right before my eyes. Toward that end, we will also speak with Rob Gentry of RBR Recumbent Bike Riders<\/a><\/strong>, RBR, located in State College, PA. In his several decades as a purveyor of all things bent, Rob has also seen a lot of manufacturers come and go as he stays at the cutting edge of what\u2019s new and supine. We\u2019ll also discuss some of the stuff he\u2019s now selling that promises to make recumbent cycling more affordable for more people.<\/p>\n

In August. we\u2019ll be spending some time with Peter Stull<\/strong>, the owner of the largest recumbent museum on the planet at what is also arguably the largest recumbent bike shop in the world, Bicycle Man LLC<\/strong><\/a> . Also the man who kept BikeE owners on their bikes long after the company ceased operations and has re-engineered the Linear Recumbent Bicycles<\/strong><\/a> such that it is becoming a machine that is acquiring a fast increasing degree of respect, Peter will talk about these bikes and the machines he has in his collection when we soon get together!<\/p>\n

And if we can work out the details we hope to be able to have a few words with Dale Clark the long time owner of the Pacific Northwest recumbent giant, Angle Lake Cyclery<\/strong><\/a>. We hope to talk about all the different offerings he\u2019s seen, including the bike he once had an exclusive on, the Counterpoint Opus. A recumbent\/upright tandem, Bilenky Cycle Works<\/strong><\/a> now makes the Opus and calls it the Bilenky Viewpoint<\/strong>. Perhaps we can also find out how \u00a0Stephen Bilenky<\/strong> came to produce that still cutting edge machine and his dealings with the musician who first brought it into being\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
