SWB Recumbents

No, BikeCAD does not currently support any sort of recumbent design. Having said that, some BikeCAD users have exhibited incredible creativity in designing non-diamond frame bikes, despite the fact that BikeCAD is only intended for diamond frame geometry. Here's an example.

Hi Brent: I had found (about 2008 i think), free online recumbent geometry setup.... and I thought it was yours? If you do a quick search for bikecad on google and read the GizMag link, you'll find the below image of what I had used years ago. Does that look familiar? Was that you or someone you know? (if so, is it still available to us? Also... any chance I can still you bikecad on OSX 10.6? as, I cannot run java 1.8.... Maybe you have an earlier online version available for us Canadian's lacking newer computers.... Regards, Rob from Southern Okanagan.

Yes, I developed this years ago but have not updated it since. It is still available at bikeforest.com/CAD/recumbentCAD.html.

thanks greatly for the info, and IT info - Hope to work on a recumbent design soon. An MTB injury has taken me off upright bikes, and after a little weight gain and "financial" depression - I really NEED to ride (roll) again. Depending on when you started at Syncros - I had the first bar ends & stems they every made !

Take care
