I just got back from the Cycle Vision 2004 in Lelystad Holland and saw some great recumbant bikes! This event took place at the RDW test track. It is a 2.8 kilometer track which was used for a 200 kilometer race. Average speed was 63 kPH. I am not a recumbant rider but I surely was impressed with those that rode there. I am trying to learn to ride and hope to attend next year's event on my own recumbant. I really like the Challenger Hurricane. It is fast, light and small. How is the recumbant movement in the USA doing? It seems to be alive and well here in Europe. I met Kelsey Bower from Ashland Oregon who seems to be a sort of recumbant guru, having been involved with building and designing recumbants for 10 years. Does the USA have any events like Cycle Vision?

Well, we've got HPV meets happening, but nothing (as far as I know) as big as Cycle Vision. I helped put on an event in Portland, Oregon, just a week before Cycle Vision: http://www.ohpv.org/news/20040604_pir.htm .
I've been involved with racing, riding, and designing recumbents for 25 years- I attended some of the first Human Powered Speed Championships in California 'way back when. If that makes me a guru, well...
