Recumbent Tandem Hitch
Our newest product – custom built by Arnolds Bikes -
Recumbent Tricycle (Trike) Tandem Hitch
Our custom recumbent trike tandem hitch came about out of a need of one of our valued customers. This unique hitch allows two recumbent trikes to be hitched together as if they were a tandem bicycle.
It’s simple to install – just bolt the clamps on the frame and tighten the quick release and you’re ready to ROLL…
Each person can pedal so everyone gets the Physical Benefits of exercise! This is a great hitch to use with those who may have some physical disabilities and cannot ride on their own, but still would enjoy the opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy some exercise.
Install the new Recumbent Tandem Hitch on to your recumbent trikes and take your loved one out for a spin.
Contact us for more information – find out how affordable it is to turn your recumbent tricycle into a Tandem ride!
Grand Illinois Trail
The Grand Illinois Trail stretches across the northern part of Illinois from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River to riding along the Wisconsin border – over 500 miles of scenic landscape & historic markers.
The trail came to life in 1995 as the idea of linking the many trails in Illinois into one ride across Northern Illinois. Think about it…heading off on a wonderful adventure to see a portion of the state in a whole new way!
You can ride your bike from the Quad Cities to Chicago!
A few of us have decided that 2009 will be the year we become trail blazers! Trail Blazers are those who ride the complete 500+ mile loop in one year or less. You need to keep a journal and take some photos & once you’re done you get the T-Shirt and a certificate.
You can download the registration form and find out more information by visiting the following sites:

Elroy Sparta Bike Trail
The Elroy Sparta bike trail located in the Southwest part of Wisconsin is a beautiful ride and one any cycling enthusiast should make plans to ride!
It’s the first trail of its kind in the U.S. converted into a bike trail from the old Chicago & North Western Railroad. It’s 32 miles long and passes through 3 tunnels.
We rode the trail in July of 2006 and absolutely loved the experience. We stayed at the Elroy end in the small town of Hillsboro at the Sleep Inn motel.
We were able to access the trail via an offshoot trail right across the street from the motel.
