ICE Trikes

Recumbent technology in whose comfort we trust.

Thursday afternoon, having made an early start in Dorset, we make Falmouth by 3pm and are welcomed by Chris and his team at ICE.

A series of industrial units where production of 1200 of the most exquisite recumbent cycling machines are produced each year for sale across the globe is also their head office. These are bikes of elegance and feline grace and examples are brought out in turn for us to try out around the car park. They are at the same time pieces of craftsmanship and joy. You cannot pilot one without a Cheshire-cat like grin.

Steve and I have worked on options for potential sponsors and are aware in this case that the recumbent seating arrangement that we have come to survey will take centre stage in our boat. Instrumental to our success because of the critical importance of comfort and its suitability to our mode of propulsion, we see that this will also enhance the marketing potential through this long and enduring test of it's capabilities.

Having tried variations on a theme designed for speed, adventure, touring and just plain fun, we retire to the office to demonstrate our embryonic website and small presentation.
