TerraCycle

A real manufacturer of real products. TerraCycle has a mission of providing the finest upgrades available for recumbent cycles.

TerraCycle is wizard at machining. Their claim to fame is making the best idler pulleys out there. (So nice, in fact, that the Sport edition became standard OEM on all Catrike products.)

AlphaBENT keeps TerraCycle products on hand for all of the trikes in the shop.

He liked the color and the lines, but found it too difficult to shift. Also, the headrest was too big.
