Blackbird Bikes was at Inter Bike again in 2005 with EZ Quadribent side-by-side recumbents.

We enjoyed talking with people who stopped by the booth.

"Gardner began designing HPV racing bikes more than 25 years ago in California. Those bikes set a ton of records. The most prestigious of which was the Dupont prize for the first HPV to break 65 mph."
