Welcome to Recumbent Cyclist News

Recumbent bicycles are the most comfortable bicycles on the road today. Recumbents also hold many speed and performance records. They can be quite fast thanks to superior aerodynamics. There are recumbent bicycle models available for recreational riding, commuting, sport riding, touring, racing, off-road and even recumbent work bikes. Recumbent Cyclist News (RCN) is an enthusiast publication that covers all of the different types of recumbent bicycles - from a North American perspective.

RCN is the #1 print publication for recumbent bicyclists - and has been since 1990. Whether you're a new recumbent rider looking for insight and knowledge, are looking to purchase a recumbent, or are a seasoned enthusiast - RCN is here to help. Our publication has been THE source for recumbent news for going on 15 years.

Inside each issue of RCN you'll find:

• Thoughtful critical analysis & commentary
• Critical road tests & reviews (the most concise in the industry)
  (We actually weigh our test bikes on a digital scale, verify components, gearing, etc.)
• Insider news & rumors
• Recumbent touring & upgrade articles
• Recumbent specialty ads & classifieds
• Annual season preview issue (about new models & updates)

RCN is a print publication sold by subscription, back issues and in some recumbent bicycle shops. We print and mail 6 issues per year, one every other month. RCN is not free on the Internet. The majority of our revenue comes from individual subscribers which allows us to write critical reviews when we need to - unlike many other publications today. Please look over our site and learn all about recumbents. If you like what you see - please subscribe.
