TerraCycle developsa full line of customunder-seat pannierracksSafer, more accessible, low center of gravityracks now available for all major modelsof recumbents.Recumbent riders know that underseatracks are safer and more stable. Theyeliminate the handling problems manypeople experience on steep climbs and fastdescents. People have been using rear rackson recumbents just because they are readilyavailable.Underseat racks are difficult to make, becausethey require custom mounting bracketsspecific to each bike. TerraCycle has solvedthis problem with a unique modular system.Ever since we started making our customEasy Reacher pannier racks, people have beencalling for us to expand the line. People likedthe having the weight down low under the seatand having things within easy reach whileriding. The lower center of gravity increasedstability both uphill and down.With more and more people calling to getthis kind of performance for their bikes, wedecided this year to expand the rack line andinvest in designing and machining the specializedparts necessary to fit every bike Burley,RANS, Bacchetta, Volae, Barcroft, and EasyRacers makes. And we’ve even managed tolower the price.The racks are lightweight, super-tough, andthe mounting brackets are precision fit to theexact profile of each bikes’ tubing, whether it’sround, square, aero, you name it. All componentsare machined out of 6061 Aluminum andanodized for durability. All lock in place usinga standard 4mm allen wrench. Installationis fast and easy — less than 5 minutes.Contact: terracycle.comEco-Friendly Seatback BagsCyclogical Recumbent Bicycles is proud toannounce their new EconBag Recumbent Seat/Terracycle’s RANS Rad-Loc mountTerraCycle’s Burley mountEasy Racers · Vision · LightningGreenspeed · HP Velo · RANS & moreFor test rides & showroomCALL Tel. & Fax: 973-239-89689 Wayland Drive, Verona, NJ 07044Messenger Bag which fits EasyRacers EZ-Series and CycleGenius seats.
