The Giro 26 was introduced in 2005 and became an instant recumbent bicycle classic. It's the perfect solution for recumbent riders that love the dual 26" recumbent format for commuting and hardcore touring, but want room for fatter tires and fenders not found on its roadie brethren. This bent is all about taking on life day to day; a great ride and an even greater value for 2010.

A word about our Giro line of short-wheelbase recumbents- Giro means “tour” in Italian and that’s the mentality we built these recumbents around: Tough bikes that handle extremely well and can be loaded up for the long haul or the hectic, everyday commute. In short, our Giro line is about dependability. If you want a “do all” bike, check out our Giro lineup and see why it’s the Gold Standard in short-wheelbase touring and commuting recumbents.

From: David Van Meter, Round Rock, Texas

Good Stuff: Very comfortable ride, great looks, low maintenance
Bad Stuff: Not enough time to ride
How I Ride: Roads, paths & trails

I purchased my Giro 26 back in 2008. After countless hours of research I made the choice and have had no regrets. Just had it tuned up after hundreds of miles and it is still in great shape. I went with a recumbent after having back problems on normal bikes. The Giro 26 rides like a dream. Low maintenance, very comfortable ride, stylish design, I could not ask for anything more.

From: Raymond McWilliams, Ford City, Pa.

Good Stuff: No more arm and shoulder pain.
Bad Stuff: Heel strike.
How I Ride: 75 to 100 miles per week.

Most comfortable bike i own (i have 9 Bikes) with the Giro 26 tired arms and sore shoulders are a thing of the past on long rides, when you hurt on a ride it takes away all the fun, shifts gears like a dream too!

From: Paul Johnson, Amarillo, TX

Good Stuff: the comfort
Bad Stuff: not enough time to ride more
How I Ride: 75-100 mi/wk about 3000mi/yr

I have no criticisms about the ride. I tried riding a friend's equipped with the Euromesh seat and I prefer the recurve seat. I'm 57 and in Aug 2010 I rode a 650 mile, 8 day solo trek without vehicle support and I loved it. I'm ready to go again. I was carrying whatever I needed in saddlebags and a rack trunk and it all went well. Even with the additional weight I only had two flats. I experienced NO discomfort. I cannot rave enough about this bike.
