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.
The key to comfort and aerodynamics on any recumbent is a well designed seat... and the ability to recline that seat to an optimum position. How much to recline the seat is largely a matter of personal preference but we strongly encourage you to experiment with seat recline to optimize your riding experience. While new riders may initially benefit from the greater balance and visibility provided by a more upright seat, most riders, over time, will come to prefer the enhanced comfort and better aerodynamics of a more reclined seat. What we would like you to keep in mind is that our bikes have been designed specifically for a more reclined (recumbent) riding position and that all of our seats, including the Re-curve mesh, have been designed to accommodate that position. All our seats incorporate the lumbar curve and upper back support that, in the past, could only be found in a hard shell design. But now, no matter what your body type or your riding goals, you can lay that seat back and really get comfortable.
