About Us

When London Recumbents started back in 1993 the Mountain Bike boom was still in full swing, the term 'fixie' hadnt been invented, and bikes for the disabled generally meant a heavy unstable upright trike.

We wanted to do things differently - to offer bikes you wouldn't see in the local bike shops and to give an experience above and beyond the confines of the high street. Within four years we were based in parkland, offering green spaced traffic-calmed test-rides and bike hires to all. A truly inclusive service for anyone young and old, the physically and mentally fit and for those with greater challenges.
