I recall the beloved Schwinn I learned to ride at age five. Bike choices change with time and there have been many through the years. Now in my 70’s I needed something age appropriate and Mark at Backcountry Cycles offered a suggestion. I am so happy with my choice and grateful for Mark’s ability to patiently listen to my needs and match me up with the perfect trike. Throughout the transaction communication was excellent.
As they say, “There is a woman behind . . . ” Beautiful Renge was so helpful in making sure I knew how everything worked and that details were completed.
Thanks to Backcountry Cycles, Mark and Renge, I am looking forward to riding many more years to come.
Thanks for the kind comments, Peter! Glad you’re having fun together on your trikes—that Is a score. Don’t forget we offer lifetime free maintenance on any recumbents purchased from us, so the next time you’re on a road trip out our way! Cheers. Mark, BRC
My wife and I ordered an ICE Adventure after talking to Mark many times. I can’t emphasize enough Mark’s vast recumbent knowledge and his willingness to share made decision to purchase thru Backcountry a no brainer. I called many recumbent shops and NOBODY was even close to being in Mark’s league!
Mark helped to clarify many aspects of ‘trike vs bike’ giving us the confidence to go with a trike WITHOUT EVER EVEN RIDING one! That’s how good Mark is!! I had no doubts it was the right decision for my wife’s new ride!
While waiting for the factory order to be completed, we happened to find an ICE Adventure on CL with Rohloff gearing – too good of a deal to pass up!! So instead of just a new ride for my wife, now we each got to have a recumbent trike – SCORE!!!!!
We are now a couple of months into triking and couldn’t be happier! Riding a trike is like being in a sports car with how fun it handles! I love the fact that now I don’t have to wear any special bike shorts to reduce ‘saddle soreness’ because on a trike – NOTHING HURTS when done riding! And no more Ibuprofen required after a ride! I’m liken’ triken”!!!!
Thank you Mark for showing us the light and giving us the confidence to hope on board!!!
We have now purchased a Hitchrider Double-Decker and are looking forward to taking our trikes on our next camping adventure! Fun, fun, fun!!!!
