Welcome

Team Cygnus has developed a fully faired recumbent bicycle that can compete with the fastest recumbents in the world. The main goal is to use an optimum man-machine combination to break world records. The Cygnus team consists of technical specialists from various disciplines. Between them they have many years of experience with fully faired recumbents both in racing and in designing. All Cygnus team members are racers at the highest level. Every year they compete in national and international competitions such as Battle Mountain, the European Championship, the World Championship, and the Michigan Human Powered Speed Challenge, but they also attempt to break records on the tracks of RDW, DEKRA and Opel.

At the end of 2012

Just a short message at the end of the year. This past year team Cygnus has done a lot of work on their bike. Jan has made a first attempt to break the 6 hour record in the Cygnus Alpha. Sadly, both bike and rider were not ready yet to pull off such a feat this early in the year. In September the Cygnus Beta was ready for Battle Mountain. With a personal record for all three riders, it was a big success. The Cygnus Trike is getting more of its final shape and has also made some test runs on the RDW Track in Lelystad.

Since team Cygnus returned from Battle Mountain, a lot of work has already been done on a number of new projects, both big and small. At the moment we have not a lot to tell about those. We will reveal more, bit by bit, in the future.

Many thanks for your support in 2012 and all the best for 2013!
