At last my first proper ride. After all the trouble I have had with the hub gears slipping, and the wait for the wheel rebuild so I could fit derallieur gears....
Sure glad to hear it is going good. Still working on mine. I normally get about 30 minutes a week to work on it. Still playing with seats, but I will get that...
Hi Everyone, My Cruzbike is still for sale. The price and equipment is negotiable. If you are interested please contact me by email on: bradlina (`at' sign)...
Hi Martin, Keep with it, once you "stop thinking about it" and develop reflexes, it'll all come together at one time. Glad to have you in the rider's guild. ...
Hi Brad, I'm glad you got your dream bike; the Shockproof is quite a piece of engineering. I have spent a lot of time scrutinizing the M5 design concepts, and...
A prototype front-mounted kickstand and a Parking Brake. I wanted a kickstand that I could operate from the seated position, that would support the bike near...
Hi Brad, You've made some judgements there that no one has before, namely, what bike is out there that would be a step up from a cruzbike. You've looking into...
Hi John and Doug Thanks for your comments. There is such a huge range of recumbent bicycles to choose from, I was glad I started with a short list. I am...
Hi Martin, Your blue bike has the solid front forks and the suspended rear. It looks like front of the frame is down 2" or so now it has lost the suspension...
Way to go Martin, It is great to read that you have had a successful ride. Yes the steering will have a mind of its own, especially when you are tense, tired...
Welcome to the Darkside on your M5 (a past Velotechnik & current ScooterBike & Tadpole owner). It had donned on me early on that the CruzBike would bring...
OK, so you guys with clipless pedals are cycling on long straight,wide roads with huge sweeping bends right? LOL I did about 30 miles today to give the bike a...
Hi Martin, I am riding on all types of roads. Tight twisty, narrow, busy cyclepaths and in stop and go. You could try out a set of the modern type of toeclips...
i'm planning on a lowracer cruzbike too. i got the kit last month. the package arrived with the box torn open and the whole thing with loose parts in a post...
I think the Low Racer will sell better than the Y Frame idea for older adults simply because anyone with arthritis, osteoarthritis in their legs (which is very...
I've posted some pictures on the Photos section under "First Iteration" of a Cruzbike I recently built. The frame is based on a design by Tom Traylor. I added...
Well can you describe how you easily get on and off without being able to swing one leg over the seat back or over the handle bars? joshua goldberg ...
wow, that's a nice traylor-type fwd. i was thinking doing something like that but with a stock frame. the main difference will be that stock upright frames are...
Okay I'll bite, wouldn't you have to lean the bike over to one side to at least a 40 degree angle and therefore you are taking up almost twice the real estate...
There is a "MPG" in the "Files" section of me getting on the bike. To get off just reverse the process. The film was done the first full day after I had...
Thank you, the getting on/off is thee most asked question I get about the CruzBike because most of the people I deal with have to go to bents because they can...
Well I've totaled 97 miles so far this week and the bike has not collapsed on me. LOL Only two problems. The first is the bottom screw holding the saddle ...
Hi Martin, ... Try this: rub your fingers over the back cushion and try to find the bolt head. I think this simple test might suggest to you that it is ...
... about the ... because ... Fair enough question too, Joshua. I've been trying to notice what I do on mine with the seat at a relatively high position. I...
Cool, will send you the pics of what everyone thought was a CruzBike Low Racer, it did not have USS, but that is easy to correct. I don't think having your...
No problems with the rear shock, just a problem with the position of the seat! I have slid it right back on the top tube. Now I need a bent seat post. I...
Well, I finally got my bike up to work to weigh it... target was 35 lbs., actual weight is 38 lbs... being as the suspension bikes are coming in at 39-40 lbs,...
