will discover some info about us, our tandem, and recumbent
bikes in
general. We have also included lots of pictures, info about
area bike routes (mostly in the Portland, Oregon metro area), and links to other bike related web

Before our first
test ride on our "Rans Screamer" neither
of us had ever ridden a tandem bicycle,
of any kind. Jeff had only limited
experience on a recumbent bike, and
Michelle had never ridden a recumbent at
all. After just one test ride, we
were hooked. There was no question
that we had found the tandem we were looking
for! In our first year, we put
2,000 miles on our Screamer!
Every time we
ride, people stop us to ask questions
about our unusual tandem bicycle.
That was the original reason for
creating this web site, to answer all
those questions and share our
experience. Our simple idea of a
place to answer questions about our
tandem recumbent bike has grown into
much more. Through this web site, we
are now sharing all about
tandems and recumbents with people
everywhere.
It is
exciting for us to be
receiving emails from all over the
United States and other countries as
well.
We are hearing from tandem &
recumbent riders, future riders, as well
as other Rans Screamer owners.
We will be continually striving
to make this web site the best bike
riding resource that we possibly can!
Enjoy your visit,
and feel free to drop us a line!

We did it!
On May 16th we participated in our
first century
(100 mile ride)! We were the only
tandem recumbent bike in the event, and
got lots of interesting comments from
other riders.

Fantastically
Beautiful...
We rode the
Gorge Ride on June 13th.
This annual event is a fundraiser for the
"Friends of the
Historic Columbia River Highway".
The route was the first paved highway
in the Northwest, and the first scenic highway
in the country! This organization is
working to restore the route between
Troutdale and The Dalles to what it was in the
1920's. This 40 mile ride was on the
eastern part of that old highway, with nearly
3,000 feet of elevation, and some of the most
beautiful scenery in the Northwest!

On a daily basis this
website gets visitors from around the world.
From time to time we get people asking if we
know where to find used tandem recumbent
bikes. We also get emails from
those wanting to sell their bikes. We
decided we would help get the two together!
