TerraCycle is now making the FastBack Designs line of innovative hydration products and accessories for recumbent bicycles.
A few years ago, Mike Vogl discovered the advantages of recumbents over the conventional upright road bikes he'd enjoyed for years. But he was frustrated by the lack of options for carrying sufficient water for long rides in hot weather. Recumbent cyclists can't wear a hydration pack on their backs; bladder packs must instead be attached to the bike or its seat. He tried strapping traditional backpack-style products on his bikes but they either dragged on the rear tire or the bladder was hard to get in and out. Plus, they looked clunky and out-of-place.
So he decided to develop his own hydration solutions for recumbents, with designs and features he thought others would like, too. He created FastBack products specifically for recumbents, and he's had a lot of nice feedback from the people using them.
Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, Mike always gave the kind of personal service people like. He had his products made in the U.S. by skilled men and women whose work he admired.
We are continuing that tradition, and expanding things in some new directions we'll be announcing over the coming season.
Just as Mike did, we enjoy receiving suggestions and comments, both good and bad, because they help us to continue meeting the needs of recumbent cyclists. Our guarantee is simple: 100% satisfaction. If you ever find that one of our products doesn't meet your needs just let us know.
