Tandem and recumbant are the most innovative and newest modes of bicycledom. Cycling with your loved ones has never been more fun. Speed cycling has never been easier or more comfortable. Many companies are now selling kits for recumbant bicycles and a huge number of the best bicycle companines are producing tandem cycles.

Recumbant cycles have been the subject of much debate since the invention of the bicycle. the have been offivcially banned form competition (which most recumbant riders maintain was because the were too fast) but still hold many of the speed records. In a recumbant you sit in a much more comfortable posture, and push back against a solid seat. This contributes to speed and endurance. Tandem cycled do present a lower profile to passing cars, but are more noticible if just for their novelty. Also, a lower center of balance means less falls.
