Hello from Georgia (USA)

Hey all. I have been a bent rider for about 8 years now. I have a easy racer tour easy that is my main ride and short wheel base Bacchetta also. I hate hills. I am not a good climber and never will be. It hinders where I ride and who I can ride with, every ride here in Norh Georgia is hilly! After a friend of mine converted her bike with a BionX system, I was SO jealous. I decided to buy a system just as they went under. After asking a lot of questions in many different places I found the Falco system. I have ordered it and am not very patiently waiting it’s arrival! I am so excited for the rides this will open up for me. I will post pictures of my set up when that time is here.

Hello and Welcome.

Never having sat on a recumbent, the seating position doesn't look like it facilitates climbing, but what do I know. It does look pretty comfortable though and must be a lot of fun. Hope the Falco works for you!

Perfectly accurate HarryS....extremely comfortable, but slow up hills. It really is not harder on a recumbent, but you just have to spin up. It makes it really hard to stay with a group of diamond frames on a hilly ride. I really looking forward to the possibilities coming my way!

Well it has taken a while, thanks to UPS drop kicking the wheel box and damaging the rim! Then the new wheel arrived the day I left for a 2 week vacation! It is all set and I did a 10 mile exploration ride today and am so WOWed! It was absolutely amazing!
The hill down the street that I struggle to climb at 4 mph’s I did at 13.5mph in level 3 of assist! It was so much fun riding without feeling the struggle but knowing I am working the muscles!
I am really looking forward to testing it all out on longer and more challenging rides!
