A. On our recumbent history page you will find pictures of recumbents dating from 1896, 1905, 1914, 1919, 1921 and 1933. Over the winter I hope to add a page on USA recumbent history from ~1950 to ~1990. Our recumbent display includes a Tour Easy hand made by Gardner Martin in 1978, a 1980 Avatar 2000, serial #0024 and the first recumbent to compete in Paris-Brest-Paris, a 1985 Linear and an Infinity from about 1986. These are on display in our shop when not loaned out to museums.
