Why are more adults than ever buying recumbent tadpole trikes?
Recumbent tadpole trikes are always balanced, no matter how slow or fast you ride and you can stop safely any time, immediately: no matter what gear, you don’t have to get off. With this design, you can get a lighter frame as it can be shorter and narrower than the delta design, which can be tippy. We even recommend using bike shoes (we would not do this for a two-wheel bike) to keep your feet in the correct riding position, stabilized (not accidentally slipping off the pedal) and you can relax your feet... as well as get a double workout (push & pull): you can ride longer. Exercise your abs, thighs, glutes. We sell stationary trainers so you can exercise out of rain, dark, wind: you can give up the gym bike
Call 415-221-3601 or email (CVCrecumbents@gmail.com) us about your riding style and goals: we need to know your height, weight. Testride appointments are about an hour with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge:
Monday-Thursday 2:30p to sunset; Friday-Sunday 8a to sunset.

Who are we?
CVC has been selling recumbents since 1995. We are authorized dealers for various brands that we feel will work for all different riders who want to experience a better way of riding. Some brands we carry are Catrike, Greenspeed, Terratrike, Performance XPR, Thys...
You can ride for fun, commute to work, exercise, ride with your kids or dogs, be in a parade: you’ll find lots of riding opportunities when it’s comfortable and fun. Ride to a park concert on a trike: you have your seat with neckrest and you’re no higher than someone seated in a lawn chair.
We have sold a number of trikes for long-distance rides like the annual San Francisco AIDs 545-mile ride: riders tell us they enjoy the ride so much more than riders on 2-wheel bikes or even 2-wheel recumbents. You have a built-in chair (some with ergonomic lumbar support) and neck support. At the end of the day, trike riders are ready to party when the other bikers are exhausted and suffering.
We sell stationary trainers for training indoors or out, rain or shine, day or night, out of the wind: an option to training in a gym.
We schedule an appointment with you after we find out what kind of riding you want to do. Along with your height and weight, we can advise you on what is the best ride for you. For your test ride, we will suggest models that we set to fit you. Your testride is usually about an hour so you can come to a clear decision about what is best for you.
Contact us now to make your testride appointment at 415-221-3601 or 415-221-3040 or email us CVCrecumbents@gmail.com.
