Below are descriptions of projects I have worked on for my recumbent bicycles. Each project is represented by a single brief paragraph followed by a picture of the final product accompanied by its technical drawing. Click on the picture of a prototype to open a tab or window showing the installed prototype. |
Wallaby is constructed from 13mm Delrin (Acetal), 2mm 6061 aluminum, and thin walled aluminum tubing. This prototype mounts onto the CT seat back.

Coral gives me peace of mind when hanging a u-lock in a rear rack by keeping the lock from swaying. Cut from 10mm Delrin (Acetal), this prototype bolts onto a rear rack, one per lock.
|
 |
|
Swallowtail eliminates the need for fender stays on the rear fender of some recumbents. Cut from 2 mm aluminum sheet, this prototype bolts onto the outsides of the seat stays at the top of the stays.
|
 |
|
Cobra helps dampen motion in the rear fender of some recumbents. Cut from 2 mm aluminum sheet, this prototype slides into the back of the frame.

Hammerhead holds light mounts out in front of hoses and cables to reduce crowding of the handlebar. Below and left is the “Hammerhead” fixed to a representative of an above-seat steering post via a CatEye® SP-6.

Chameleon - Mark I holds the seat stays in position when transporting a Lightning Stealth® with either a top carrier, or trailer. This brace is especially useful if there are accessories supported by the stays. TIG welded at a local machine shop.

 |
Snapper - Mark I's primary function is to keep some recumbent seats from sliding back when powering up steep hills. When used in conjunction with “Tortoise” (below) it can add an additional layer of theft deterrence.
|
 |
 |
Tortoise performs three functions: 1) Connects "Snapper" (above) to some recumbent seat backs; 2) Adds an additional layer of theft deterrence; and 3) Adds stability by keeping the seat back from swaying.
