HP Velotechnik Street Machine Gte short-wheelbase recumbent bicycle. I got the Street Machine last weekend, purchased at my “local” recumbent bicycle shop that’s 50 or so miles away in Fort Collins: Spring Creek Recumbents. While recumbent bicycles are not exactly unknown or unseen in the bicycling mecca of Boulder, there isn’t a single bike shop that sells recumbents. https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2008-09-02-rode-my-rans/ Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0000 https://lauralisscott.com/blog/2008-09-02-rode-my-rans/ Labor Day weekend was simply gorgeous in Boulder. Lots of sun, not too hot, blue skies. It was a perfect weekend for getting to know my new Rans Stratus XP. The long wheelbase required an extra-long bicycle mount, one designed for tandem bicycles. Earlier in the week, I picked up a Thule rack and a RockyMounts R4 rack that could handle the 65" wheelbase of my Rans. The bike fit perfectly.
