Recumbent Shop near Sacramento/Davis

Excuse me for interrupting the Dolan raves to ask something related to
this group.

As a California transplant, Davis seems to be quite the bicycle
paradise (albiet they do need
to better consider pedestrians and others). I'm looking for a shop
that enjoys working and has
the expertise for recumbents.

Thanks.

Too lazy to check a map of Cali, but this shop in Van Nuys has a fairly good
rep. http://bentupcycles.com/index.cfm

The shop where one can buy a Velokraft NoCom, the fastest stock class
bike in the known universe!

Too many uncontrolled and unknown variables to be meaningful.

Put the same rider on the bikes with calibrated power measuring cranks
and see which one is faster for a given power under the same
conditions.

OTOH Sean the Costinator Costin broke Francis Faure's unfaired one hour
record set in 1933 on June 6 2007, riding his NoCom, the fastest unfaired
recumbent in the known universe, to a new record after 73 years of 28.459
miles.

Why does Mr. Sherman concern himself with speed on a recumbent? He is as
slow as molasses and has never been known to go fast in his entire life. In
fact, he is your original slowpoke. Only I, the Great Ed Dolan, know how to
go slower than him.

It does not appear to be anywhere near Sacramento.

Any good recumbent shops near Sacramento or Davis. I have no desire
to take
excessively long automobile drives.

BTW, Sacramento has some of the most wonderful places to ride, along
the
American River Parkway. Miles of great bicycle paths along the
American River from
Folsom to downtown Sacramento.

There's got to be a great shop in Northern California, the Sacramento
area.

The fact that it was claimed to be the fastest bike in the known universe
(not stock class, fastest period) indicates it should have no problems
dusting any other bike regardless what race it is participating in. So far
it's batting 0 in RAAM

Yes, Max gave me a hell of a good run around White Rock
