The authentic Sem is in Redford, Michigan, U.S.A. Semcyles are manufactured
at the Semcyle factory in Maarssen, Holland. In the UK, I would send to the
factory in Holland for a catalog. You can also check with a local Juggling
shop in the UK, they might have semcycles. (check the vendors file on
moocow.cogsci.indiana.edu, in the pub/juggling diretory I believe)

Secmcycle in the U.S. has given me exceptional service when I have needed parts
(one time). Standard bicycle pedals should fit the Semcycle as do standard
tires. The spokes on the standard Semcycle are heavier than standard spokes,
I'm not sure about their availability. I have found my Semcycle to be as solid
as a rock.
