I've got an ActionBent Tadpole, but would like to try out some two wheeled recumbent bikes for a change. I don't want to buy an ActionBent bike, but would like something different. Can anyone tell me what dealers are availible in/around the San Francisco bay area? I'm actually on the Peninsula near Redwood City.

To help narrow things down a little, I don't care if it's a LWB or SWB, or if is't got the steering over or under the frame. What I would like is large, full sized wheels front and rear and possibly suspension, too.

The trikes are fun, but a little too hard to transport and downright invisible on the street. I'm looking for something I can ride anywhere and something easier to store/haul. As it is, we only ride the trikes on trails and have to haul them on the Honda to get them there.. I'd like a *bike* I can simply remove from the garage and ride away on, but I haven't had much luck finding a LBS with Bents in stock or even independant dealers in the area. I know of a couple ActionBent dealers in the area, but I don't like the AB design.

Thanks.

Zach Kaplan in Alameda. He has a variety and knows more about bents than you'll care to know about. No website that I know of. Call him at 510-522-BENT.
