Long Bikes in Progress (photos):
Do you have a growing problem? Is your family outgrowing your bicycle? Give us a call, we can help. R+E Cycles is one of the few manufacturers that can build bicycles for 3, 4, 5...you name it! Until recently, we haven't put them on the website....I don't know why.
Over the last several years, we've built dozens of long bikes (bikes longer than a tandem). Some of which, like the one I'm riding in the picture above, will convert to a tandem with the use of S&S couplings.
You have questions?
- How do I transport a bike like this?
- How do I store a bike as long as this?
- Will we ride it enough to make it worth the investment?
Pricing
We have 2 base models for Triple Bikes starting at just $8,199, but most xtra-long bikes are built fully custom to order.
If neither of these models serve your needs, that's not a problem, custom is our specialty. Often, people have different ideas as to what is important on their long bike, so it can be better to work together with you on the pricing as we determine the features that you want. Shoot us an email with some of your questions if you'd like to find out more about a Rodriguez extra long bike.

Of note, in 2010 we built a quad tandem for four guys riding across Canada to raise awareness of four different charities. "4 guys, 4 causes, 1 bike" was their motto, and they succesfully completed their ride on their Rodriguez Quad Tandem. You can see a picture of that quad here.
We also built a quint a few winters back, in 2007. Not just any quint though, one that would convert to a quad, triple or tandem! The final bike wound up from wheel to wheel almost 15 feet long! Every long bike creation is built custom, and is quoted out individually. Although these extra long creations are never cheap, our price is generally quite a bit less than the other manufacturers. We also don't mind building these monsters at any time of year. Some manufacturers will only build them in the off season.
If your family has grown to the point where you think you might like to try a triple, quad, or quint, don't buy before getting a quote from us. You might be pleasantly surprised.
No matter how long or how custom your bicycle needs to be, we've probably built one like it already.
