Features & Benefits
Contoured Seat & Backrest
A one-of-a-kind contoured backrest and wide seat provide a comfortable and pain-free experience for mile after mile - virtually unrivaled in the bicycle industry! No more skinny bike seats!
Low Step Over
It is hard to enjoy a bike if you have trouble getting on and off and worried about falling. All Day 6's have a low and long step over bar for easy entry. Feel safe and confident every time you need to stop or go.
Extended Handlebars
Bending over the bars and putting stress on your wrists, low back, neck, shoulders, and crotch are one of the many reasons people give up riding a traditional bike. Sit up, relax, and see the sights in a stress free position on a Day 6.
Low Seat Height
Stretched geometry lowers the seat 4-5" compared to traditional bikes; creating a lower center of gravity. You get improved cornering and braking and both feet reach the ground when stopped.
Nexus 8 Internal Hub
Low maintenance, easy shifting, internally geared Nexus 8 hub by Shimano eliminates multiple chain rings and the derailleur and allows you to shift when stopped, or on the move, without pedaling.
Changed Lives
I recommend the Day 6 bike to my patients and to physical therapists attending my courses. Ron Hruska MPA, PT Postural Restoration Institute™, Director
I think I might have died and gone to heaven when I discovered that seat/backrest arrangement. Thanks for a wonderful design. Carol S.

Day 6 Overview
There is a reason they are the most comfortable, upright bicycles ever made, see for yourself, as seen on pbs:, day 6: the official bicycle of 18 year nfl veteran, lomas brown, and 19 year nba veteran, rick mahorn..
"I'm a retired Air Force officer and I ride bikes every day. I usually my Day 6."
"when i got my day 6, all the sudden, mostly everything (the pain) disappeared.", rick mahorn.
“I tried out the Day 6 and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for, superb comfort, excellent low speed handling, easy to bop on & off curbs. Thanks for the time spent on the phone. I truly hope your business takes off because, for what I want in a bike, you’re making the best bike I’ve ridden.” Doug in MI
“Thank you for designing and building a great bicycle, the Dream8. I had ridden road bikes most of my life. Once I hit 60 years of age, that type of bike was no longer a viable option. The Dream8 has graced my garage for 2 months now, and I am thoroughly enjoying ownership of this miracle. It is extremely comfortable and does not induce any of those “aches” that my road bikes did. I am “out in the wind” again and back to a regular work-out routine. Thanks again.” Bob in Florida
“I finally got a day without rain yesterday and went for a short ride with my grandson. This is the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden! Absolutely love it!! I am a 66 year old grandma who loves to bike ride! Thank you for creating a well made comfortable bike.” Diana in Florida
“My husband got his Day 6 yesterday and said to tell you thank you, he loves it. He has very bad circulation problems and he rode it for over an hour yesterday and said he didn’t want to get off it.” Tracee in Indiana
“You named this bike correctly. It is truly a Dream…… I’m looking forward to lots of rides on this bike. The seat and backrest are perfect for me.” Warren in Iowa

Day 6 Bicycles
Whether you call them “Crank Forward”, “Semi Recumbent”, “flat foot” or “comfort bike” for many riders they are a practical and comfortable alternative. These bikes can be a comfortable, low maintenance, practical, stable bicycle that is easy to get on and off of. Get some exercise while running errands, commuting or just enjoying the outdoors. CF bikes have much of the comfort of a recumbent bike but are still more traditional and super easy to get used to. If these features sound good to you maybe you should take a look at the Day 6 bikes.
Day 6 Bicycles Semi-Recumbent Crank Forward Bikes
The Day 6 has a pretty good combination of comfort, safety ergonomics, low maintenance and moderate price.
- No bending forward to reach the handlebars
- Both of your feet easily touch ground at stops
- Adjustable, contoured backrest
- 11″, 15″ or 17″ wide comfort seat, your choice
- Aluminum frame to keep the weight down
- Dual 26″ wheels handle bumps well and tires are easy to find
- Traditional styling
- Standard bicycle components for easy maintenance
- 21 OR 7 speeds, your choice
- Rustproof stainless steel chain for lower maintenance
Superior comfort:
- Comfortable seats are 11″, 15″ or 17” wide.
- Extended handle bars eliminate stress on the wrists.
- Ergonomic – adjustable backrest support for your lower back.
- Most of the comfort of a recumbent bicycle.
- The ease of use of a comfort bike.
- The flat footed seat height of a semi-recumbent or CF bike.
- Prices closer to a quality traditional bicycle.
The comfortable Day 6 bicycle is also available with an electric assist for those who have large hills or have difficulty pedaling.
Though most electric bikes lack the ergonomic comfort of a Crank Forward you can have both comfort and electric assist. Adding an electric assist to the Day 6 Dream gives you the power and confidence to quietly go places you never thought you could.
The Day 6 Dream 21 models have easy to use, wide range 21 speed derailleurs, making them better hill climbers. The Dream SS has the 11″ wide Velo bicycle seat & the Day 6 backrest. Dream SC has the 15″ wide Day 6 SC Contour recumbent style seat and the Dream SL has the 17″ wide Day 6 SL Luxury recumbent style seat.
All three have the Day 6 back rest found on all Day 6 bikes. Larger riders especially find the extra large SC and SL seat. Most riders find the SC the most comfy for longer rides. We find few riders who prefer the SL seat over the SC.
Day 6 Journey SC, SL and SS
The Day 6 Journey
The Journey models have an easy to use, low maintenance 7 speed internal gear hub. The Dream SS has the 11″ wide Velo bicycle seat & the Day 6 backrest. Dream SC has the 15″ wide Day 6 SC Contour recumbent style seat and the Dream SL has the 17″ wide Day 6 SL Luxury recumbent style seat. All three have the Day 6 back rest found on all Day 6 bikes. Larger riders especially find the extra large SC and SL seat. Most riders find the SC the most comfy for longer rides. We find few riders who prefer the SL seat over the SC.
Day 6 Safety
The high seat and low handlebar position on today’s road bikes allow the rider to cut through the wind and ride at higher speeds. For the casual rider this position can be uncomfortable for your your back, wrists and butt. The Day 6 Dream and Journey frames put the seat and handlebar where it is convenient and comfortable for the rider. Most riders of all ages and fitness levels quickly feel safe, confident and in control on the Day 6 bikes. Their the low seat height allows you to easily start and stop with your feet on the ground helping you stay in control at all times.
Low seat height makes the Day 6 bikes more accessible for the physically challenged.
The low center and your position behind – not over – the handlebars means it is very unlikely will pitch-over the handlebars even in a panic stop.
Day 6 Bike Accessories
Accessories are available to make your Day 6 more practical and versatile. The racks and fenders shown on these pages are chosen to specifically fit the Dream. Most any bicycle lights, bottle cages, panniers, computers, and other accessories will fit and can be purchased at your local bicycle dealer.

Day 6 Bicycle Testimonials:
“The Dream is the most easy-riding and ergonomically correct bicycle I have experienced in 55 years of riding and working with them. When you couple this rider comfort with the top quality components and fine finish, you have a very desirable product my customers can’t resist.” Allen Jennings FL
“I have nothing but praises for the bike – it is a great ride. It is very smooth and the average speed I am able to do is even a little bit better than my upright standard bike. I have already had two days where I have ridden it over 50 miles. I am sure that once the bike is in bike shops and people are able to test ride them, there will be a huge demand for them. Thanks for checking back with me. My hands, wrists, neck, shoulders, and back are grateful for the less stressful ride the bike provides.” Karen MN
“I am so thrilled with your Dream bicycle. I haven’t been riding for approximately five years now due to Fibromyalgia. My first ride was for 19 miles with an average over-all speed of 11.8 miles per hour. I felt wonderful afterwards, no pain to low back, shoulders or neck. My second ride was for 18 miles with an average over-all speed of 12.8 miles per hour. Again, I felt wonderful afterwards, no pain caused by riding. I would highly recommend the Dream to anyone who has back, shoulder or neck problems. The adjusting seat and handlebars allowed me to adjust the fit to my body and comfort level. The Dream would be a great bicycle for anyone, the low step through frame is a great idea for those who might not feel comfortable with a standard bicycle. The amazing thing also is that I have not experienced any leg pain either, from lack of riding.” Sherri CA
I’ve been trying to deal with being uncomfortable on a standard diamond frame bike since I was in my early twenties. In my quest for more comfort I tried several “new” seats, even the really creative saddles but nothing made my butt comfortable. I tried getting the bike professionally fit to me but still never found a comfortable position. I bought my first recumbent in 1992 and now have a collection of comfortable recumbents but none of them work well in an urban environment. I believe the ability to pop little wheelies is vital as it makes getting over curbs and obstructions just something you do. Recumbents cannot pop little wheelies. On my Day 6 Dream, I can do it all. Sitting up at road bike height gives me a commanding view of the road and enables me to talk to regular road bike riders “face to face” rather than having them looking down at my low recumbent. I expected older folks to be intrigued by the big seat that looks comfortable and they are. I wasn’t expecting teenagers to be yelling “cool bike” and “tight” as I ride by, but they do. Having comfort and a high cool quotient adds to the fun factor of riding. I’ve decided not to use clip-less pedals and have adopted a more relaxed and casual riding style with my Day 6. Outfitted with a kickstand, bell, fender, and lights, my Day 6 is a go anywhere, anytime ride. Thanks for building the optimal fit and function bike. Al Brody Colorado Springs

Day 6 journey.
The Day 6 Journey is a unique Day 6 because it uses a Nexus internal gear hub. The Nexus 7 speed hub offers a couple of advantages. One, there is no need for a chain derailleur, and two it is possible to change gears without the bike moving. This means you can select a low gear after you have come to a stop and before you start again. I have sold several Day 6 Journey bicycles to people with physical disabilities, they have found the Journey to be easier and safer for them.
The 7 speed Journey has a wide gear range and will go up hills and cruise on the flats. And the same as all Day 6 bicycles the Journey ships with all of Day 6’s comfort features and their acclaimed ergonomics.
Like all Day 6 bikes the Journey is comfortable, safe and fun to ride.
The Day 6 Journey is available in three frame sizes, small, large and extra large.
- Small: Fits People from Approximately 5′ to 5’7 (up to 28″ inseam)
- Large: Fits People from Approximately 5’7 to 6’2 (28″ inseam – 32″ inseam)
- Extra Large: Fits People from Approximately 6’2 to 6’9 (32″ inseam – 36″ inseam)
The main difference between the Day 6 frame sizes is in the seat tube support and the seat tube extension.

Very comfortable and safe to ride. I am 74 and have had shoulder surgery on both shoulders. Therefore, I was concerned about falling from my traditional bike and injuring myself again. This allows me to easily touch the ground with both feet when coming to a stop and avoid possible falls. This bike is much more comfortable, fun and easy to ride.
The bike is a little more unstable and harder to balance at slow speeds but, with practice, I have become more used to it. During summer weather my back does get a little warm against the back rest on the seat but the comfort of the seat and back rest far outweighs that minor problem.
Very good bike for casual riding. I find riding to be much more enjoyable now. I am very glad I purchased one.
Most comfortable bike ever made. Last bike you will ever need or want. Quality made.
The span of the bike is very long yet it must be to get those comfort effects. The bike name is almost unheard of and people are skeptical because there is little marketing and most bike shops do not know how great this bike really is.
This bike is terrific and the last bike you will ever need or want. My wife has one and I have the Samson model as I am obese and require heavy duty. For a big guy the Samson is better and the wheels and components are upgraded on this model. However for my wife this bike is ideal. We have had this bike for about 4 years now and there is nothing like it. Everywhere we ride people ask if they can ride them. Actually I would like to sell these for Day6 because I believe in this product so much. If you are large, have knee or hip issues this is the only product for you that allows you to ride without pain.
Upright riding posture eliminates neck stress.
Comes with very cheap components. Steering is twitchy. High center of mass reduces stability. Upright riding posture increases shock to pelvis and spine from sharp bumps.
I purchased a Day 6 Dream 21 in February 2012. I have put nearly 1500 miles on it since then, including the MS-150 from Houston to Austin. My former bike was a 1979 Trek 512 touring bike with a Brooks B-17 narrow saddle. I had been happy with the Trek but neck problems forced me to switch to a bike with an upright riding position. The Dream 21 comes with good derailleurs and cheap wheels, cassette, crankset, and chain. I replaced the wheels, cassette, rear derailleur, crankset and chain with: SRAM X7 Twist shifters SRAM X7 Rear derailleur Deore triple crankset Mavic XM317/ Shimano M590 hubs/DT Swiss spokes PG950 cassette with 12-26 range New SRAM chain. Cost of the upgrades was about $600. This made the bike more fun to ride, and a bit faster. I also put a Vittorio/Geax Streetrunner tire (1-1/4 inch) on the front, and a high-pressure, 1-1/2 inch tire on the rear. I transferred my Bontrager cleated pedals to the new bike, as well. It's still a heavy bike, the steering is twitchy, and the center of mass with rider is high. I am afraid to cross a bridge on a 3-foot wide sidewalk because one little mistake will dump me into a busy road or throw me over the guard rail into the Braes Bayou below. I never had a problem with this on my old bike. But with the upgrade I am pretty happy with the Day 6. If they could put a suspension seatpost into it, I might like it better. One comment: The bike is unusual in several ways, but one that stands out is the back rest. Some think of the back rest as a lumbar support but it does not function in that way. It just serves as something to push against while pedaling. You should think of the back rest as a pelvic support and adjust it so that your sitbones are in the right place when your pelvis is against the back rest. If I knew of a better bike with an upright--not slouching--riding position, I would have tried it. I would really like to have a lower riding position and less twitchy steering, but I would also like to be 30 years younger...

WEATHER ALERT
A warning and 2 advisories in effect for 6 regions in the area
500 miles in a toy car: a guinness world record attempt from jacksonville to key west for a worthy cause, 2 women attempt the longest trip by toy car and their journey doubles as a fundraiser to save animals.
Carianne Luter , Digital Media & Engagement Manager
Ciara Earrey , Photojournalist
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – How far have you driven during a road trip? 100 miles, 500 miles? Imagine doing that drive in a toy car.
Two women, Cassie Aran and Lauren, are attempting a 500-mile drive down the coast of Florida to earn the Guinness World Record for Longest Distance by Toy Cars, and their journey began right here in Duval County.
Cassie and Lauren, who asked us not to use her last name, started their journey at Friendship Fountain in Jacksonville and will end at the Southernmost Point Buoy in Key West. With occasional assistance from Cassie’s boyfriend, Brandon Lucante, they expect the attempt to take two months.
Cassie and Lauren’s Story
Cassie and Lauren have been close friends since their kindergarten days in New Jersey, where they rode battery-powered toy cars in the neighborhood.
“This just kind of came as this wild idea because we had these cars as kids,” Lauren said. “We used to ride around with toy cars as kids and have always wanted a Guinness World Record attempt. So we’re like, this would be a fun way to kind of honor our childhood.”
The two have a great relationship and love pushing the boundaries to add excitement and spontaneity into their lives. They aim to inspire others to do the same throughout this process and to remind everyone not to take life so seriously.
“We just love to do crazy adventures and push the limits of what is possible and try to inspire other people in the process,” Lauren said.
The million-dollar question, or record-setting question — why?
Besides aiming for a Guinness World Record — which doesn’t currently exist, by the way — Cassie and Lauren said they’ve transformed the endeavor into a memorable road trip. Why go five miles to set a record with your best friend when you can go 500, right?
And did we mention their mission is also raising money to save animals?
Cassie and Lauren encourage donations by giving shoutouts on social media to their top donors. With more than one million followers on social media platforms such as TikTok, YouTube and Instagram — the duo raised more than $600 during the first 24 hours of their journey.
Their fundraiser aims to reach $10,000, which they will donate to the Red Panda Network in Nepal, the Costa Rica Animal Rescue Center, the Save a Fox Rescue in Minnesota, the World Bird Sanctuary in Missouri and more.
Cassie also owns a clothing company called “The Ear Socks,” where 10% of all proceeds from sales of shirts, stickers and hoodies go toward the Best Friend’s Animal Society to help end all kill shelters by 2025.
You can learn more about their mission to save animals by visiting their website.
Preparation
The Guinness World Record folks are sticklers and getting into the record book isn’t easy.
Cassie and Lauren told News4JAX it took nearly a year for the Guinness team to approve their attempt for the “Longest Distance by Toy Car.”
When they finally gave the pair the “OK,” they also sent a laundry list of requirements the duo will have to track for the attempt to be counted (see below).
One of the first things Cassie, Lauren, and Brandon had to do before starting their journey was drive along their chosen routes to verify accessibility. One of the paths they have to use is through the Everglades.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cassie Aran (@cassie.aran)
Official Rules and Regulations
To receive the official title of “Longest Journey by Toy Car,” Guinness must be 100% certain the two didn’t cheat.
So Cassie and Lauren created a daily checklist to keep track of the dozens of things they must have in order at the end of their journey.
The rulebook: Guinness sent the two a giant rulebook of things they can and can’t do. Some rules include: the shell of the cars must remain the same during the entire journey. The batteries, tires and wires may be replaced, but they must be the same ones that came with the vehicle. They must carry specific things with them at all times. Cassie and Lauren must adhere to these specific guidelines, and more, outlined by Guinness World Records for the record they are attempting.
The logbook & witness book: The two must also use a logbook to track every stop they make, even if it’s to use the bathroom. They must record why they stopped in the logbook and include photos, receipts, and signatures (witness statements) of individuals who saw them there. They also must take a picture with every known Florida landmark along the route. These details provide comprehensive and verifiable evidence that supports the record attempt. Cassie and Lauren will also use their video recordings on social media as documentation of their day-to-day journey.
“The daily checklist is like our Bible,” Cassie said. “Like, if we miss one little thing, it’s over. We could lose the whole world record if we left one thing off that checklist.”
GPS tracker: Guinness World Records gave Cassie and Lauren a GPS tracker they must turn on every day before their journey to ensure the attempt is accurate and authentic and that they’re not cheating or manipulating data. The GPS tracks where they go, how fast they go, when they stop, etc.
The two must follow the Guinness guidelines, which include making safety a priority so they don’t hurt themselves or anyone else.
Break any of the rules and Cassie and Lauren will not be awarded the record.
“It’s a lot,” Lauren said. “It’s intensive and it’s all day. It’s a lot of work. It’s not like we’re just driving cars all day. It’s a lot of logging things and taking photos and getting signatures.”
(Note: The video below was filmed before Cassie and Lauren’s first failed attempt. The vehicles have since been changed)
Trials and tribulations
This isn’t Cassie and Lauren’s first attempt at the record. The toy cars they used on their first go-round hit the sidewalk and failed them only a few miles in.
“The first time that we attempted this, the batteries did not last as long as they did in testing for us, and it was like half as long,” Lauren said.
The two weren’t even out of Jacksonville before they had to start over, this time with new vehicles — Freddo Rocket toy cars. The two-seaters can handle rough terrain and can reach 11 mph (now you see why it’s going to take at least two months). The cars have headlights, emergency brakes and even play music. One major obstacle they face while driving these cars is they must steer clear of significant cracks and potholes due to the low clearance of their vehicle.
When they tested the battery life on the Freddo Rocket cars, they lasted around 11 miles. Yes, that means they have to stop to change out their batteries every 11(ish) miles. They plan on charging the batteries overnight at hotels.
With the new cars, they were off again and so far, so good.
But of course, it’s Florida.
The weather and other factors will come into play for sure. How fast can an alligator go again?
Cassie and Lauren said that when it rains, they have to use car covers and umbrellas to protect the vehicles and essentially have to ride out the storm.

News4JAX is rooting for you, Cassie and Lauren, and we know you’ve got this! Keep on driving.

Day 6 Update Spring 2020
by Bill Wilby | Apr 22, 2020 | news
As you may know if you have been following Day 6 Bikes over the years, supply has been a ongoing issue. After a year of problems, in the Fall of 2019 Day 6 started receiving stock and the supply going into 2020 looked not too bad. This post is a Day 6 update for Spring 2020.
COVID 19 , all of us have felt the effects of this pandemic, and Day 6 was not immune. But there is some good news, there is stock of the Journey in all sizes and colours. There is also stock presently of the small and extra large Dream 24 and Dream 8s. As you may know the Day 6 Journey is a favorite of mine, here is a blog post detailing the new upgrades the Journey has received for 2020.
Day 6 Samson
2019 was not a good year for the Day 6 Samson bike as there was no stock available all year. In 2020 the Day 6 Samson models are expected to arrive in June. The Samson has in the past been my best selling bike so it will be nice to have them back in stock.
Day 6 Trike
I have not received or sold the new Day 6 Trike. The Day 6 Trike is here and receiving great reviews. I am sure the Day 6 Trike like the other Day 6 Bikes will be best in it’s class. I have listed the Day 6 Tricycle here .

Russia to unveil new fighter jet at Moscow’s air show

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian aircraft makers say they will present a prospective new fighter jet at a Moscow air show that opens next week.
The new warplane hidden under tarpaulin was photographed being towed to a parking spot across an airfield in Zhukovsky, outside Moscow, where the MAKS-2021 International Aviation and Space Salon opens Tuesday. Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit the show’s opening.
Russian media reports said that the new jet has been built by the Sukhoi aircraft maker in a program of development of a light tactical fighter.
Unlike Russia’s latest Su-57 two-engine stealth fighter, the new aircraft is smaller and has one engine.
The Su-57 has been built to match the U.S. F-22 Raptor stealth fighter, but unlike the American aicraft that has been in service since 2005 its serial production is just starting and a new engine intended to give it the capability to cruise at supersonic speed is still under development.
The new warplane’s name is unknown, and there is no information about its capability and deployment prospects.
The prospective Russian fighter jet appears intended to compete with the U.S. F-35 Lightning II fighter, which entered service in 2015. Russia hopes to eventually offer the new aircraft to foreign customers.
Rostec, the state corporation that includes Russian aircraft makers, said the “fundamentally new military aircraft” will be unveiled Tuesday at the Moscow air show. “Russia is one of the few countries in the world with full-cycle capacities for producing advanced aircraft systems, as well as a recognized trendsetter in the creation of combat aircraft,” it said.
Following the Rostec announcement, Russian plane spotters rushed to Zhukovsky to take pictures of the new plane — an eerie parallel with Cold War times when Western spies tried to get a glimpse of the latest Soviet warplanes at the tightly-guarded airfield that served as the country’s top military aircraft test facility.
In a bid to raise public interest before the presentation, Rostec published a picture of the new plane covered by tarpaulin with “wanna see me naked?” written under it. It also posted a brief video featuring excited foreign customers and the jet’s vague shadow over the water.
Another teaser photo posted on Rostec’s Facebook account Saturday showed what appeared to be a reflection of a British type 45 destroyer in the new Russian warplane’s optical sensor with an inscription “See you.” “Black tarpaulin looks enticing, but details are always more interesting,” Rostec said.
A British type 45 destroyer, HMS Defender, was involved in the June 23 incident in the Black Sea when Russia said one of its warships fired warning shots and a warplane dropped bombs in the path of the Defender to chase it away from an area near Crimea that Moscow claims as its territorial waters. Britain, which like most other nations didn’t recognize Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, insisted the Defender wasn’t fired upon and said it was sailing in Ukrainian waters.
Putin has charged that the incident with the Defender wouldn’t have triggered a global conflict even if Russia had sunk the British vessel because the West knows it can’t win such a war, a bold statement that appeared to indicate his resolve to raise the stakes should a similar incident happen again.
The Kremlin has made modernization of the country’s armed forces a top priority amid a bitter strain in relations with the West, which have sunk to post-Cold War lows after Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, accusations of Russian interference in elections, hacking attacks and other irritants.

Even if you are not a massive fan of the USSR, Lenin or socialism, Gorki Leninskie on the outskirts of Moscow is still a great place to visit, as it is one of the few estate houses in Russia belonging to a middling-class of landowners which has survived today with its interior intact. Of course the reason it has survived intact is thanks to the fact that Lenin spent the last years of his life here and after his death it was turned into a museum. Before Lenin, the estate belonged to the Zinaida Morozova – the widow of the famous Russian patron of the arts Savva Morozov. After the death of her husband, Zinaida wanted to turn the estate at Gorki into a family home with her new husband Anatoly Reinbolt, and the famous Russian architect Fyodor Shekhtel was hired to carry out the reconstruction

Transfer to the Gorki Leninskie Museum-Reserve. Your guide will wait for you in the lobby of your hotel with a sign saying . The journey can take up to 1h30 hours depending on traffic.

- The Large House – this is the house where Lenin spent the last years of his life and where he died on 21 January 1924. You will see not only the rooms where he worked and relaxed, but also the rooms of his sister, the beautiful summer gardens and lots of items connected with Lenin and the former owners of the estate.
- Lenin’s Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost – this car was bought in England for governmental use. At first it was a standard car with four wheels, but it was transferred to a factory in St Petersburg for modification: its body was placed on caterpillar tracks and skis were attached to the front. Lenin travelled from Moscow to Gorki in this car, and made trips around the Moscow Region in it. On the night of 21 January 1924, after the autopsy on Lenin's body, Lenin’s brain was taken in this car to Moscow to be studied, and on the return journey the car brought back a zinc coffin.
- Lenin's Kremlin office and apartment – on 12 December 1922 Lenin worked for the last time at his office in the Kremlin and departed for Gorki. His Kremlin office and apartment was then sealed shut. During the presidency of Yeltsin the rooms were opened up and it was decided to transfer the furniture to Gorki Leninskie where the rooms were recreated. You will see here the actual furniture that Lenin used as well as other interesting artefacts, some of which date from an even earlier period: a map of the time of the Russian Civil War, materials for congresses and conferences, collections of statistics, and presents from workers and peasants sent from all over the country. The clocks in the office display the time of 8.15 when Lenin last left his office.
- Lenin Museum – this is the newest building on the estate. The museum was built in 1987 and represents a true monument of the late Soviet period. The museum was cutting edge for its time and features audio components. The centre of each hall has a cube of black glass which displays a six-minute long film. The museum may be dedicated to Lenin, but today it also serves as a museum of the technology and spirit of the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
- Burial of the Leader Monument - this is one of the most unusual monuments of Vladimir Lenin. Nowhere else is the founder of the Soviet Union depicted as a corpse being carried, after all “Lenin lived, Lenin lives and Lenin will always live". The designer is Sergey Merkurov who also was responsible for creating Lenin’s death mask. He was at the time the country’s leading specialists in death masks and also worked on death masks for Lev Tolstoy, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Mikhail Bulgakov and Maksim Gorky.

I purchased a Day 6 Dream 21 in February 2012. I have put nearly 1500 miles on it since then, including the MS-150 from Houston to Austin. My former bike was a 1979 Trek 512 touring bike with a Brooks B-17 narrow saddle. I had been happy with the Trek but neck problems forced me to switch to a bike with an upright riding position.
