• ReCycle Want Ads: We have the largest recumbent classified ad section in the WORLD. RCN's mission is to provide accurate reviews, editorial opinion and his view of whatever event, product or bicycle he is writing about. Unlike other glossy mags, RCN does print reviews of problematic bikes. It is his hope that manufacturers may learn from the reported problems and that the products will improved. Over the past eight years, this has been proven effective. RCN offers an effective and lively communication between recumbent riders, enthusiasts, those looking to purchase their first bent, dealers, builders, manufacturers and the bicycle industry. RCN has no business ties to commercial builders or manufacturers. RCN is sold by subscription and back issue packages or through select recumbent bicycle dealers and agents around the world. RCN is paid for by you the recumbent enthusiast (for the most part). This is your publication. Tell us what you want. We accept paid advertising though it is not our primary source of revenue. RCN is bankrolled by us, you (readers) and dealers/manufacturers (who advertise). We do not accept automobile, cigarette or alcohol advertising . We are not supported by $20,000+ per insertion car ads. We wonder how some magazines can be voices for bicycle advocacy by taking many pages of expensive car ads.
