Back in 2014 I trashed my back in a car accident and couldn't ride an upright bike anymore. I picked up this fabulous Sofrider V3, which got me my biking fix for 3-4 summers until I was healed enough to get an electric FatBike. I haven't ridden her since so it's time to pass along the joy to...

Totally agree with you here! I have up on racks and went with Revelate bags, haven't toured yet but plan to this winter and have high hopes. Went on a fully loaded 10 mile ride today on dirt roads just to see how she handled and I barely noticed the weight. On seat pad, I actually have an...

I'll be touring/car camping around south central Florida w/ my Sofrider this winter, happy to meet up! Probably based mostly in the greater Lake Okeechobee region..

Haven't done it myself, but was just researching this same topic. Seems some modification is generally needed, haven't decided if I'm going to take the plunge. Here's a blog post a came upon giving a few options, all of which involve drilling a few new holes in your seat back...

Oops! Yes don't feel bad, we've all had those days, hope you get it re-setup quickly! The first time I loaded my Sofrider on a bike rack I didn't remove the seat pads and lost the back pad on the highway.... made for a very uncomfortable ride that day and the need to order a new set! oops!

Good tip, what a cool job! I've been playing with different options and think this will be my wheels for the winter! While I've seen lots of mention of Revelate seat bags on Cruzbikes, I've not seen mention of handlebar bags or other frame bags. Most cruzbike tourers seem to use some type...

I'm headed to Florida to play this winter (Jan-Mar). Probably mostly car camping but I'm hoping to do some short bike tours while down there. Currently debating what bike to bring, but leaning towards my Sofrider. I hurt my back in a car accident and my upright bikes seem to aggravate it more...

First, Thanks to everyone in this forum for being awesome! I've been doing recumbent research for a few months now, and settled on a cruzbike largely thanks to the huge wealth of information available in this community. I got my Sofrider in the mail a few days ago and finished assembling it...

Rocky Mounts I have both a Rocky Mounts TieRod and a Pitchfork. The TieRod is currently on my car and my Sofrider does NOT fit on it as the front end is too wide to fit with the angle of the drops on the rear wheel. However, the Pitchfork looks as if it would fit though it's not currently...

Just got my Sofrider all set up and rolling this morning. I live just outside of Montpelier, VT and would be happy to give anyone local a test ride!
