Getting up to speed!
Did you know that recumbent bikes have resulted in one of the most drastic bans on cycling? In 1934 the world bicycle federation UCI decided that recumbent bicycles are no longer allowed to race because they were deemed to be too fast. Accusation: aero doping. You may find it rather strange. But for us, this accusation turned out to be quite inspiring. When we founded HP Velotechnik in 1993, we really became enthusiastic about the idea of outwitting the headwind on a comfortable human powered vehicle. And we still are today!
However, this is not only due to the headwind, which you are spared. More than 100 years ago, the first recumbent bicycle designers worked on optimizing the aerodynamics – and invented by far the most comfortable way to move around on a vehicle with muscle power. This legacy is still the mission for everyone who wants to build the perfect recumbent bike.
