Plain-English summary

Performance Inc. is recalling approximately 10,200 units of the 2006 Performance Travel Trac bicycle resistance trainers. The recall is prompted by a defect in the base's blocking mechanism, which can break and cause the bicycle to disengage from the stand, creating a fall hazard.

The affected models include the Travel Trac CenturyV Fluid, Travel Trac CenturyV Fluid+, Travel Trac CenturyV Mag+, and Travel Trac Mag Force+. These trainers were sold at Performance stores nationwide, as well as through Performance's website and catalogs, from August 2005 through February 2006 for approximately $300. Performance has received two reports of the trainers breaking, but no injuries have been reported.

Because the manufacturer is no longer in business, consumers are advised to immediately stop using these trainers and destroy and discard them. For further assistance, consumers can contact the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.
