This is my Rans Rocket. I bought the Rocket used from Bob Bryant after he had done a year long test ride of the bike for Recumbent Cyclists News. At the time, I really didn't need another bike but a few test rides had convinced me that this was a fun bike. Also William Burroughs, my home built junk bike had given me a taste for the sporty handling of a SWB.

I've equipped the Rocket with a coroplast tailbox. An article describing the construction of the tailbox will be in RCN #44.

The Rocket is the bike I ride the most. It handles great and the balance of the bike gives it handling that is the most similar to a road bike of any of the recumbents I own.

I traded an old Mac PowerBook to Bob Bryant for a BOB trailer. This is a really nice trailer. It holds a lot, yet when I'm riding I barely know it's there. I've used the trailer to haul groceries and once I hauled a vaccuum cleaner home. This summer, I'll use it to haul the camping gear when I go touring.
