As you look around, you 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 sites.   Thanks for visiting!

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!  Check out: Bikes For Sale.
