For many people who are interested in what recumbents have to offer, speed is not the determining factor. Beginners are generally concerned with how easy to ride, safe, and affordable a recumbent bicycle is. The Cafe is the perfect option for many new bent riders. Designed from the ground up for comfort, ease of use and afordability, the Cafe gives a new rider the ability to go out and ride, day after day. Like all other Bacchetta Recumbent Bicycles, the Cafe is crafted to the highest standards and incorporates the same custom frame tubing as our higher end bikes.

Around the town or around the country, the Cafe may be the ultimate expression of cycling freedom. A great recumbent bike for everyday riding, the Cafe's horizontal seat adjustment and fine tuned handling, makes starts and stops a breeze for shorter folks and the stretched wheelbase inspires confidence in even the most novice bent rider. It's also just plain fun for riders with years of experience.

How I Ride: road and trail

I bought this bent in 2007 and all that remains original is the stick frame and steering. Disc brakes needed for off pavement use and chainwheels changed to 22-36-48 with cassettes taken apart and rebuilt into sequential gearing . The seat was tossed onto a used bent and sold and a full mesh seat was installed. Components upgraded along with wheels. I bought for 1200.00 and put in 650.00 so still a cheaper alternative to an expensive bent. Very comfortable seat compared to the recurve that it came with. I wish they would bring this bent back with better gearing, different seat, and perhaps an aluminum or titanium frame. I want another one.
