Desperate to find a more comfortable bike, I began riding recumbents in 1991 -- my first was a Turner frameset I built up. The Turner was a low cost design based off the old Hypercycle design. From there I've owned countless recumbents. I opened the first dedicated recumbent shop in Sacramento CA selling various brands as well as my own design, custom built to buyer preference. A few years later I took over management of a bike shop in South Florida, turning it into one of the biggest recumbent dealers in the east. From there I was recruited by the largest recumbent manufacturer in the world, BikeE Corp. in Oregon. I've performed design work for recumbents and related accessories. My freelance writing saw its way into various cycling publications including Recumbent Cyclist News, Fitness Cycling and Bicycle. I've been fortunate to have known many of the giants of the recumbent and HPV scene.
In more recent years I performed various upholstery projects and repairs as a hobby. Out of convenience, and necessity, my upholstery ability and recumbent expertise came together. I found there were many older, but perfectly good, recumbents that needed only a new seat mesh to be back on the road. Consequently, RSF (Recumbent Seat Fix) was born. Now, in semi-retirement, I offer my ability to the recumbent riding community. I know recumbents, understand their seating and have specialty industrial sewing machines that can tackle about anything recumbent related. Whether your recumbent is bike or trike, American, English, European, Australian or Asian, still in production or the manufacturer is long past, it can still have a new seat. My focus for new seats is on strength, comfort, simplicity and making improvements over stock. RSF seats are handcrafted from premium materials in 'Colorful Colorado'. Options, customization and special requests may be available. For repairs, I strive to keep what is still useable, on the road. If you are interested in a new seat, repair or modification of an existing seat, repair of bags, panniers or other bicycle related sewing needs, please go to my Contact & Orders page. The production of my seats allow me to make donations to Guardians of Rescue an organization specializing in more difficult animal rescue situations. They tackle situations others cannot, or will not. Their scope covers a wide range, from extreme hoarding and abuse to bringing home the adopted pets of soldiers in conflict zones. They are known as 'The bad Asses Of Animal Rescue' and do what needs to be done. For more info, or to provide direct support, please go to their website: Guardians Of Rescue.
