Bike to the Future: A Most Unusual Swiss Bent Shop!
Aug 17, 20261h 12mS11
When you ride a recumbent in Switzerland climbing mountain roads is unavoidable. Dario Ciani designs and builds custom battery/motor systems for trikes, bikes and velomobiles that are meant to conquer these challenging conditions. He owns the "Bike to the Future" recumbent bike shop in Neuchâtel and we were fortunate enough to visit him last month for an interview. I also made a shorter visit to Grand Rapids, Michigan where I met up with the producers of Recumbent Cycle-Con 2026 Marshall and Kelle Randall. We sat down to talk about why bent riders everywhere should plan to attend this unique event in Xenia, Ohio this September. 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:30 What’s on Today’s Show 00:02:30 Panel Introduction 00:03:55 Sponsor Introduction 00:17:17 Interview with Dario Ciani from Bike to the Future-Swiss bent shop 00:47:35 Interview with Marshall and Kelle Randall-Recumbent Cycle-Con 2026 preview 01:03:50 Sponsor Thanks 01:08:45 Announcements 01:10:50 Goodbye to panel and crew Please subscribe to us on YouTube (https://goo.gl/CHOOgX) and Like us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/) if you haven't already done so.

The Secret Is Out: The 19kg Theta Velomobile Shatters World Records!
Apr 6, 20261h 50mS11
In this episode of the Laidback Bike Report, we go behind the scenes of one of the most exciting and secretive recent developments in the recumbent world: The Theta Velomobile. For months, a small team of 4 scientists and engineers in Germany worked in total silence, even hiding their Strava data to keep their project a secret from the "nosy folks" on the German Velomobile Forum. They decided to move beyond modifying existing designs like the DFXL to start with a completely clean slate. The result is a 19kg racing machine that didn't just meet expectations—it dominated. In its pu...

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
