Cruzbike in Vermont Glad to see another Cruzbike in Vt. I'm north of Burlington on Lake Champlain and ride around the lake and on the Rail Trails from St. Albans to Richford. Good luck riding around Montpelier. Phil

Father's Day gift, put on my new Cruzbike shirt and went for tour of the Burlington Vermont water front on a Segway. The first time on a Segway is almost like learning to ride the Cruzbike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeE7txkQbO8

Derailleur Hanger No, the plate, I guess what you call the chain stays, extends below the dropouts and a larger bolt holding the hanger is threaded into that plate and a small bolt threaded into the fender eyelet. Phil

I used the Nuvinci but after I used the Nuvinci but after some testing decided it wasn't as efficient as some of the other drives and it was heavy, but it was smooth, no question. I was able to use it without the tensioner but I also had enough movement in the dropouts to keep the chain...

Clipless pedals. After over 50 years of bike riding and never went clipless I gave it a try a few weeks ago. After recommendations from this site I went with the Shimano Road Cycling shoes SH-RT82, the SPD system. Also installed pedal extenders as it moves my foot away from the crank, not...

Starke Florida Starke Florida is best know for it's ability of handing out speeding tickets so watch the speed on the Cruzbike.

Cruzbike Shock Mounted the camera on a suspended part of the bike frame as suggested to see how the shock was working. Big bump at about 42 sec. on the first video. I put 3 2 X 4 in the street and rode the bike over them to see how the shock performs. The shock seems to be doing...

While riding today in Sun City Center Florida it looked like a Quest headed in the opposite direction and by the time I crossed a few streets and got turned around it was gone. We have a few other recumbents in the area but I have never seen an orange one. I thought I was the only Cruzbike...

Could have done better! Yes, you could have gotten a better back ground picture for sure, probably 80 degrees there. I have the Planet bike Protege bike computer and it's always popping out of the clip but, so far, I have always found it. Not sure how to secure it but if you come up with...

Mobius ActionCam http://youtu.be/pu2Ot7JjCpQ Just received the Mobius ActionCam. The video seems to compare favorably with the GoPro camera that I have been using, just doesn't have all the features. Very windy and cloudy overcast sky today but the camera seems to have enough...

Caribike I think this is a picture of the same bike.

Nice Video Nice video but looks pretty dangerous to me. It appears that some of those vehicles came very close when crossing into your lane. Hope you have a very bright rear light and good luck. Phil

Kay Chain Camera in the Video Just to pass it along for anyone interested in getting the keychain camera. I didn't think the resolution was that good on this key chain camera and I just read that the 1280 X 960 is really just the 720 X 480 with expanded pixels, something like that. The...

Move Shock for test Thanks everyone for your help. I did try moving the shock to the lower hole, and like you said Steve, I didn't feel any difference other than the bike seat is lower and the trail is different. I have the adjustment on the pre-load at minimum, just enough to keep the spring...

Car Key Chain Camera Not sure if it has a model number. It's the HD 1280 X 960 Car Key Chain DVR and I added a wide angle lens designed for cell phones.
