Bike und Outdoor show in Dresden

Just a few pictures from Bike und Outdoor show in dresden where we had a stand with our dealer Fahrrad Riemer.

A short recumbent trip with all the AZUB employees

It is not long time ago, just before the weather changes to snow storms, we enjoyed a short recumbent trip with two prototypes of AZUB trike (YES, AZUB trike), some AZUB Eco, other AZUB models and Fietser WAW velomobile. And also our new sound-light system.

Enjoy the video!

Annual Czech Recumbent Meeting

There is a recumbent meeting in the Czech Republic every year in mid September. It is always nice to see all the friendly recumbent riders and AZUB owners. Year by year more and more participants appear and this year there were 115 recumbents and more than 130 participants. And still more and more of them are from abroad so we can already call it International Recumbent Meeting in Czech. Here you can see only very few pictures from two rides and video will come soon.

Every year the organizer is different and also the place is different. This year we were close to Dvur Kralove nad Labem. AZUB will celebrate 10 years in 2010 and we are already working on big recumbent meeting which should be a celebration of AZUB birthday. We expect to organise couple of rides incl. night ride, little recumbent orenteering, trike and snail race, couple of slide shows and video presentations, visit of local brewery, singing, vine tasting, visit of archeological place etc. etc. Simply four days full of joy, recumbents and recumbent rider´s talking:-)

We hope to meet you all here in Uhersky Brod and we hope you will come with your friends and families. Not only AZUB bents are welcomed but also all other brands, homebuilds, velomobiles, trikes etc. And if your partners do not have recumbent? Doesn´t matter, we have all started with uprights, so also they will be welcomed as usual.

How the AZUB stand on SPEZI 2009 was painted

Many of you have seen the special stand which we had on SPEZI show in Germersheim (Germany) this year. It was painted by our friend Ivan Kremecek. He usualy works for czech famous joke magazine Trnky Brnky but time to time he paints also some bottles, t-shirt etc. as a gifts. And he felt in love with body painting too, which we understand very well.

He told that our stand was his biggest work in last couple of years. As the basic we used the boxes in which our recumbents are delivered all around the world to our customers. On the last picture you can see how the stand looked during the SPEZI with all the friends and AZUB emploees who were there.

AZUB recumbent tandem prototype again on road

Some of you may know that AZUB built a prototype of recumbent tandem few years ago. The idea was to test all technical details of common AZUB models under super difficult conditions. This tandem spent several months on expeditions with Eliska and Honza and appeared in countries like Hungary, Romania, Greece, Ukraine etc. Based on this experiences we have improved rear fork, under seat steering axle, steering rod and many other details.For more info about previous expeditions please visit Eliska´s and Honza´s personal page at www.eh-adventures.com

Since that time we have used the tandem only for short rides around Uhersky Brod where we are located, but now the tandem is again on very long expedition from Atlantic ocean to Bratislava in Slovakia. Riders are Thomas and Phillipe from France. Young son and father decided to experience the tandem riding and the Euro Velo route.

Here are some of their pictures from departu. More infor you can read on www.tandemcouche.fr, but unfornatenuly only in french. Updated pictures are on Pikeo.
