POWERED BY THE BEAST WITHIN...
BECAUSE FOSSIL FUELS ARE EXTINCT!

Home of quality Recumbent Trikes, Velomobiles, Hand-cycles, Specialty Cycles, & Bikes!

Where is T. Ryx located?

T-ryx is one of the largest recumbent trike dealerships in southern California, and we're growing!  We're located in the City of Escondido in northern San Diego County,  just southeast of the I-15 and SR-78 freeway interchange.  Use your GPS to find us at 316 W. Misson Avenue, Suite 123, Escondido, CA  92025. No GPS?  Click on the Contact Us button above.  Alternatively, you can use an on-line route finder such as Google Maps or MapQuest, or just give us a call at 760.471.0411.  Our Air Traffic Control tower will guide you in for a safe landing.

Why Buy a Trike from T. Ryx?
Our mission here at T.Ryx is to match every rider with the perfect trike for his or her needs.  We sell trikes at all levels for riders of all abilities and all ages. We represent 7 trike manufacturers, with prices starting at a few hundred US Dollars and going up to, well, as much as you want to spend...but we won't carry junk in our store! So no matter what your budget is, we'll put you in a trike that can't be beat for the price. Whether you're a weekend warrior, a racer, a tourer, an endurance cyclist, or..., we've got the trike for you!  We offer trikes for all ages, from kids (our youngest so far has been 4 years) to Seniors (our youngest at heart so far has been 95), and from those who are physically challenged to those with super human powers! (Actually, our challenged customers fall into both categories!)  Trikes are made for everyone!  We're now an authorized Invacare-Top End HAND CYCLE dealer as well.  We're an established Government Contractor, providing trikes, bikes, and hand cycles for Wounded Warriors Battalions, Veterans Medical Centers, and other government entities.  Add us to your friends list and become a Facebook fan.

For those looking for a trike or hand cycle to fit special needs, we can help you out with the proper accessories or modifications!  Whether it be single-hand operation, special pedals, hand-cycles, extra low gearing, electric-assist, or...you name it: we can do it!

Take a look around you while you drive your auto to the neighborhood grocery store, or to the beach, or to work.  Notice the prices on the gas pumps?  The petroleum industry seems to raise the prices every chance they get.  Every once in a while, they lower prices a bit, just to get us to be complacent about the prices when they're high.  SoCal gas prices recently started rixing again and they're averaging around $3.89 at the time of this update.  Didn't that seem like a lot of money a little while ago?  But drivers are just rolling with the punches. And analysts are predicting record-breaking gasoline prices by the summer of 2012!

Notice the traffic jams?  Notice how stressed the drivers, and passengers, are? Looking to save on gas money?  Want to minimize your use of fossil fuels in order to help conserve our natural resources?  Trying to get in shape but don't want to sit on a piece of dental floss disguised as a bike seat and lean over into a pretzel position?  These are all questions recumbent trikes and hand cycles address perfectly!  A recumbent trike is the optimal daily commuter, recreational transportation, loaded tourer, and even off-road vehicle (some models)!  And COMFORTABLE...!!!  Think of trikes as three-wheeled easy chairs.  Add suspension and you have a three-wheeled over-stuffed recliner.  

And hand cycles can be used as racing machines, casual recreational trikes, or simply to work your upper body.  Many hand cycles are are designed specifically for the rehab sector, but they can be used by anyone with the desire to develop upper body strength.

Velo-What???
Our Velocimobiles division is one of only a handful of velomobile dealerships in North America.  Yes, velomobiles.  Check out our Velocimobiles Site by clicking on the velociraptor logo or the "Velomobiles" link above.  We're the exclusive Leiba dealer in California, and currently the ONLY Leiba dealer outside of Europe.  As authorized Greenspeed dealers, we were sorry to see the Greenspeed Glyde taken out of production.  Ian Sims said he still plans to bring it back at some point.  In the mean time, we're in the R&D phase of developing our own line of velomobiles.  If you haven't seen a velomobile on the road or bike path, don't worry: you will soon!  The vehicles have been popular in Europe, and with a select group of riders in the US, for years. But Velocimobiles is helping to introduce the velomobile to our country as the vehicle of choice.  

Full Sevice Trike, Bike, and Velomobile Shop
T. Ryx is still growing!  We are a full-service shop. We have always serviced the recumbent trikes, bikes, and velomobiles we sell, but we also service any trike, velomobile, or bike we DON'T sell.  Our standard bicycle Division, Bike Vault, is managed by Dylan Dean (Hoppy's son).  Bike Valult offers high quality adult and children's bikes, road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, BMX bikes, and even beach cruisers, all at very competitive prices.  We are an authorized dealer for Jamis, Hampton, Turner, Sunday, Mirraco, Stolen, and Kink bicycles.  Coming soon are  Pivot, and BH Bikes.  Check out Bike Vault's FaceBook page or go to wwwl.shopbikevault.com for more bicycle information.  Alternatively, just contact us directly by phone or email.

Apparel and Accessories
In addition to cycling machines, we offer a wide variety of apparel and accessories, whether you're looking for recumbent specific or all around cycling "stuff".  

We're authorized dealers for Kucharik, Mt. Borah, Reverse Gear, Nema, and other apparel makers.  We're constantly on the lookout for accessories to make your triking experience better.  Sometimes they're made specifically for the recumbent sector, or even specifically for recumbent trikes.  Sometimes we find accessories made for cyclng in general or specifically for diamond frame bicycles.  Sometimes we find products outside the cycling industry that will work well for recumbent trikes and bikes. Keep watching our Web Site and Facebook Page for new products.  And if you know of a product that you can recommend for recumbent trikes, give us a call or shoot us an email.  We'll look into it and if it works for us (and we don't already have it), we'll give you store credit for "finders fees".  Don't worry, if you're not close enough to come in to our shop, we do ship to anywhere in the US.

Electric Assist
Although it may seem counterproductive to offer electric motors for recumbent trikes and bikes, the truth is that many people can ride farther and longer with a motor assist, and therefore can get better exercise.  Yes, electric assist systems are somewhat heavy, but they enable riders to keep up with a group, or even pass others, when otherwise they'd be left behind.  They also allow riders to haul more gear, climb steeper hills, and generally enjoy the ride more.  We at Tyrannosarus, Inc. offer electric assist from BionX and Crystalyte.  While not the least expensive accessories in the world, these have been the solution for many riders who needed the extra power for their trikes and bikes.  And no, it's not cheating unless you're using the motors to help you win a race against non-motorized cycles.

Go Solar
Need to carry handheld electronics with you when you ride?  We're an authorized dealer for Voltaic Systems, maker of solar chargers capable of charging your GPS unit, smart phone, MP3 player, and other small devices.  They recently even came out with a solar charger able to handle larger devices, such as iPad and other tablets.  The smaller units are rated at 4 Watts, while the new, larger unit is rated at 8 Watts.  We've used the smaller units with great success, and can't wait to try out the larger ones.  (Need to get a tablet first.)
 

Our Promise: We realize we're basically the only game in town here in San Diego, but we have customers all across North America!  While a few other bike shops may have one or two recumbent trikes, we specialize in them.  Our goal is to continually improve our product line and our service.  Our customers are our primary concern.  We are always looking for ways to improve our business. We will never become complacent or reduce our enthusiasm for our products.  Each of our manufacturers and suppliers(trikes and otherwise) provides the "best of the best" in their products, and we'll do our best to represent them well.

Our New Shop

We've Moved...just a bit: But Bigger is Better
Well...in this case it is.  We moved our shop to the East end suite in the same building (Suite 123), and doubled our usable space.  Now we have space for inventory, more mechanics, and even a customer lounge.  We'll be bringing more stuff in as we grow.  Come in, check our our new models, and kick back and relax on our sofas.  Take your time deciding which trike or bike you prefer.  Enjoy your experience.
