ActionBent Gone Under?

Word has it that ActionBent  trike company is no longer in business. I attempted to visit the site, and am taken to a GoDaddy domain page instead. I found another website by Gary Olsen that states:

“ActionBENT Bicycle Company is no longer in business in the US but when I bought the bike, it was located in Redmond, Washington. The company was run by these two very dedicated and enthusiastic guys who possessed a great connection with Asian bicycle manufacturers. But alas, the party for them is over. For reasons behond my comprehension, Actionbent as a US importer of bikes and trikes is officially out of business.”

That website may be visited HERE. This may have been known for a while, but it took me by surprise only moments ago. Well, I guess I can’t say you heard it first at Trike Asylum, ha ha. Leave a comment  to this post to let us know when you heard about it. Let us know how far behind the times TA really is!
