Specialty Bikes: Track,Trikes,Tandems,Unis,Police,and Folding Bikes
Track
Fuji has been making track bikes for decades. Competition-ready but equally comfortable under riders demanding quick handling in the streets, the Track Classic delivers that “steel is real” feel that’s hard to put into words. Now there is a vel0drome in the area-Cleveland Velodrome offering free sessions (you must register in advance) to learn how to ride safely on the track.

Trikes
From Wikepedia: A tricycle (often abbreviated to trike) is a three-wheeled vehicle.
Tricycles generally follow one of two layouts:
Tadpole: with two steered wheels at the front and one (usually driven) wheel at the back. Tadpole recumbent trikes are the sport tourers of recumbent trikes. They sit low to the ground and allow leaning and body english for accomplishing tight turns and maneuvering.
Delta: with two wheels at the back (of which one or both may be driven) and one steered wheel at the front. Delta recumbent trikes resemble the classic all around trike. The seat height is higher than the tadpole trike, allowing for an easier mounting and exiting. This type is well suited for recreational riding as well as carrying cargo. Trailmate offers several styles of Delta trikes, including the trike pictured below, the E-Z Roll Classic.
Not all trikes fall into one of these two classes. For example, some early pedal tricycles used two wheels in tandem on one side and a larger driving wheel on the other. It is common for tricycles to have front and rear wheels of different sizes. Read more about Trikes at wikipedia.org/wiki/Trikes

Tandems
From Wikipedia: “The tandem bicycle or twin is a form of bicycle (occasionally, a tricycle) designed to be ridden by more than one person. The term tandem refers to the seating arrangement (fore to aft, not side-by-side) instead of the number of riders.” Visit wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_bicycle for more information on Tandems.
The Sport is a great tandem for bicycle paths or street riding. The bike features sturdy double wall rims and mechanical disc brakes for street riding The easy to use Shimano Rapid Fire shifters let you tackle any hills with confidence.
