Since I’ve been riding bents which will be about a year and a half, I feel that I’m a much stronger rider then I’ve been in the past and I’ve been riding for 20 yrs. I just want to say thank you for building such a great bike. The best I’ve ever owned. This has made cycling enjoyable for me again.

I believe that recumbent ownership is going to make all aspects of my cycling life a new daily adventure. I can’t wait to travel my old, familiar routes again on my new ‘bent, and that my Giro 20 will make these trips somehow revitalized again, that perhaps I’ll be encouraged to take some different routes I’ve never considered before.

When gasoline prices went up to over $3 a gallon, I decided that it was time to try out riding a bike. After riding for a few weeks, I decided that a regular bike was not going to cut it, so I went out and test rode several bent bikes. The Bacchetta Cafe was the most comfortable and affordable.

I had been to the Bentrider Recumbent Rally in NY and spoken with Mark and Rich about the bikes. I was taken by them,(the Bikes too!) Hence, I now own one. I Love the ride, The Power on Take off is apparent to me and it tracks very well. I just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I have done this ride twice before today on an upright and suffered to the top, at the Johnston Ridge Observatory, 5 miles from the crater. Today was one of the BEST rides of my entire life! And it was my Bacchetta Aero that was the reason!!!

“I rode a short loop around the shop and knew instantly that these bikes were different from the others I had ridden. It immediately put a smile on my face that lasted the entire day.”

“The Aero is my perfect bike… It’s smooth, responsive, and likewise delivers a true sweet dialed in (oneness) type of bicycling sensation that I had never achieved with any previous recumbents or road bikes.”

Charles rides his Corsa 2-4 times a week for leisure, exercise, and mental health! He finds it very relaxing to get away from the pressures of work. He even rides his Bacchetta Corsa on his lunch break…
