This isn't Cruzbike related, but it's bike related, so I figure that's close enough. I stumbled across it today and though it was funny, so I'm sharing it. https://jokesfunnystories.quora.com/Juan-comes-up-to-the-Mexican-border-on-his-bicycle

It’s funny, they’ve actually gone up due to Covid! There is apparently a lot of demand for them these days.

Hi all, Long time Cruzbike owner, first time poster in quite a while. I have one of the first Hydroformed Vendettas (the yellow ones) and I ride it a lot, maybe 4 times a week or so. I have always been "kind of" able to ride no hands, meaning for a short distance, in a mostly straight...

You Know You Are a Cruzbiker When: You have way more KOM's around your neighborhood than ever thought of having on a DF!

This happens to me a lot too. Sometimes it happens when I'm riding with one of my DF buddies and I think to myself "yeah, I know who they are taking the picture of!"

I'm with you, Blair. Honestly, there could be a few minor improvements here and there, but overall, I'm quite happy with my V. I wouldn't buy a CF or Ti if it were offered. Al is good enough for me.

When adults make comments like that, smile and pass them (assuming they are on "normal" bikes). When kids make comments like that, smile and wave.

Another thing you can do is to lower the headrest and then add an air cushion. I find this helps tremendously and now have ridden several thousand miles this way. Credit to Mr. Steve for the idea. http://www.cruzbike.com/forum/threads/headache-from-riding-v.8994/#post-115033

If you want to be able to reach your light while you are riding, and take it on/off in a few seconds, check this thread. http://www.cruzbike.com/forum/threads/chain-stay-measurement-please.8904/#post-114332 That link goes directly to my reply about my light set up. You'll find a picture of...

For what it's worth, I've always used tubes on my Cruzbikes. I've had flats on both front and back wheels, usually after hitting something, going both fast and slowish. None of them have ever resulted in a crash...usually just "am I flat? crap" and then I stop and fix it. Hopefully your...
