So fast, Lightning bicycles were banned by the USCF

Remember how great Tim did at the USCF Time Trials in Moriarty, NM? Well no more of that, thank you. The USCF has revised their rules to rule out recumbents:

"Recumbents may not be raced in USCF races unless there is a separate race for this category of bicycle, and then may be used only in that category."  (USCF Rules)

It appears that Tim beat so many upright bikes out there, even some ridden by famous riders, that the USCF had to respond to prevent him or anyone from doing it again! Of course, you can still go out and do it to your local club riders! Not that we encourage such blatant competition--much!

Fast as Lightning in RAAM!

Team ALS Lightning was the first to cross the finish line in the famed Race Across America, setting several new records. A nearly 3000 mile non-stop race, the event is a proving ground for both man and machine and Lightning is proud to have built the bikes and sponsored the #1 team!

Who is Lightning Cycle Dynamics?

We build race-proven high tech bicycles, and are the only recumbent maker to set world records with a production bike (our P-38 model with optional F-40 fairing). Lightning recumbents have traveled from Los Angeles to New York in 5 days, won the Abbot, Paul Mitchell, and STP Challenge Prizes, and have set over 20 world records. In addition to being fast, the modern integrated Lightning design delivers a bicycle that is also much more comfortable, safer and faster than ordinary "upright" designs. For over 25 years, thousands of Lightning owners have enjoyed them for recreational riding, touring and commuting. For more information on what's special about Lightning, see our Racing Heritage, Media Coverage, and Company Information pages.
