Some of you may remember when I first wrote, asking for help and advice, on how to get started riding my Cruzbike. It's been some while since I last wrote this...
Nice story, thanks Donald. It seems, when we tense our muscles, we block the feedback from the muscles that are needed for learning. To learn, we must relax to...
I put my Sofrider together today and took it for a quick spin. I plan on using it tomorrow for my normal commute (24 miles round-trip). A few observations: I...
Donald: You are not alone at this problem, but you DO have the knack of getting started, else you would not be telling us about your successful rides, right? I...
Thanks John T. for the Tech. tour of the Silvio on Youtube, It's been a bit of a wait, but it looks like an awesome bike! I think I've reached the limit...
... he he! The thought had crossed my mind, Jeff. When you look at continuous high speed riding, the B boys do have a good thing going with their lay flat...
Has anyone found a source for handlebars like the ones that come with the Sofrider and/or Freerider? I'm loving my Tiara conversion but need better/different...
I don't know whether my earlier question made it onto the list.... I'd still like to know whether the Cruzbikes will fit into a standard bicycle case for...
Had my Silvio for five days, thanks to John for assembling (he is the manual :) Very impressed with the construction and finish- rivals high level DF road...
Hi Steven, They're referred to as "ape hanger" bars and are popular with the banana-seat/lowrider bike folks: http://circlecitybicycles.com/chop/hbar.htm ...
Hi Thomas, I don't know that anyone's tried to fit one in a case yet... I'm thinking a standard airline case, which is usually about 11 inches deep, would...
-The price of the Silvio frame set is $2190.00.Send half with order, balance on shipping notice.. A handshake won't cut it I guess (grinn} Take Care Bill --...
The Silvio frame set is pretty complete with forks and headset and who else has a airshock? Plus all the other things. I knew I had to have one and im a happy...
Just put a speedo on the Silvio so now have an idea whats going on.I still cruze around 17 or 18 but can hit 22 and hold it with no problem.The Kind shock...
Thanks, Doug... is there ANYTHING you don't know about the Cruzbike?! ;-) On that note, have you found a handlebar that's similar to the Sofrider one?...
Jack! No doubt about it you have one of the best high end recumbents out there. What kind of wheels will take 140# tires,or will most? I sure would like to...
Hey Bill, The Silvio is set up for 700c wheels - I don't think your Bontrager 26" wheels will work with the brake mounting points. However, Kendrick built his...
John: If you are indeed interested in the Silvio participating in RAAM, I know Phil Platt, who, along with his partner, came in 2nd in the two man division...
I got an update tonight from Maria, who just finished Day 4 of a 7 day, 450 mile ride from the mountains of western North Carolina to the sea. She said the...
Hi Jack and other Silvio riders, Sounds like you having a lot of fun with the new bike. I suspect your cruising speed will increase quickly as you adjust to...
Doug! Thanks for the info on the wheels. I completely forgot about the 700c wheels on Silvio. I'll take a look on Bikeisland. Take Care Bill ... From:...
Hello, my first post. Thanks for your patience. I'm considering purchasing my first bike since my early twenties. I'm 55 years old, with lower back problem...
I live in the West Palm Beach, Fl. area. I am interested in comparing the ride on a cruzbike vs a "conventional recumbent" Can any provide a suggestion? I...
From the Cruzbike website, I too thought that all the prices were the same. But later I saw differently. The Silvio is listed as payment one and payment two,...
Welcome to the group, Rick... A couple of questions... How hilly is the area you'll be riding in? How far do you think you'll be riding at a time? A jaunt...
Hi Tom, I had no idea when you said you shipped your bike, you really SHIP your bike! Obviously the original bow would be relatively short- lived. Do you have...
Hi Leon, Yes, I DO get started, but I feel that I'm cheating a little. Why? Because I've noticed that the parking lot, where I practice, has a gentle slope in...
Hi Rick, I'm also new to the Cruzbike. For what it's worth, I'm six feet two inches, and I weigh 190 lbs. I'm sixty-five (65) years old, and I have been able...
Thanks, Doug! This is what I've been looking for. I went to the Crateworks site, but I don't see dimensions there. I sent 'em a question about their boxes, ...
