Chair Bike . . Who Sells It?

[sager66]

About half way through this NBC video report on Parkinson?s gene therapy, there is a few seconds shot of a man riding a chair type bicycle . . anyone know who sells it? I tried to get a screen shot during the pause mode, but it was just black.

Thank You

I can't see the video but are you referring to a recumbent bike? If so, any bike shop should be able to hook you up.

LOL. Chair bike.

Those things are awesome.

Yeah, they are called recumbents... hehe. I haven't ridden one, but I have seen several around town while riding my road bike.

This one looks comfy.

I guess it's more of a bike chair rather than a chair bike.

These are some fuzzy digital camera images of the paused video.

I've seen somebody riding one of those around my neighborhood, but I've never seen one in a store.

Yup, they are comfy bikes. Really aerodynamic too, but definitely not good for uphilll climbs. For straightaways a pretty good bike.

RANS has some that are similar.

Here's one, they have several.
