Get something faired!

I would think that an F40 (like Cruzbike) would give a velo a run for it's money, particularly when there is climbing and traffic. :)

You really need to drink more of that coffee you roast. :)

I've got 1st generation Tannus tires on my Commuticruzer. Rolling resistance is noticeable and definitely bigger than my pneumatic tires. They're definitely less forgiving than air tires, but very reasonable (it's an unsuspended bike and it's ok). Their second generation tires are supposed to...

Welcome! (And pictures, please, or it never happened! :D )

I suspect this is a phenomenal deal.... :)

Nice!

Huh. Imagine a crankset with two or three rings and some sort of device for changing which ring is being used while riding! Nah... That sounds way too complicated. I'm sure that's just a pipe dream... :D

I really liked where Jim was going and have missed his projects. I also very much liked the Mosquito and have missed seeing updates there as well.

An F40 weighs a LOT less than a velomobile. A lot. a front fairing, a rear frame and a sock aren't going to add a crazy amount of weight. I think a fully faired S40 would very likely give a V20 a ride for it's money. And the additional weight of the fairing may be offset by the more upright...

I don't know that you'll be able to adjust the wheel well enough get the belt tight (let alone get the belt on)... (But there are lots of things I worry about that turn out not to be actual problems.)

Where are you? Are you willing to ship?

Ahhh... Very cool!

That's why you want to do several runs for each configuration. Of course, that doesn't help on either the takes time or have to get to the top of the hill problem. :)

Find a big hill and do repeated roll down testing pedaling backwards. (Seriously.)

Nice! The problem with the laid back bikes is that it will be hard to see over the fairing. That's why I think a more upright bike will work better.

Hi, I've been saying similar things for years, but with the new Silvio S40, it's just screaming to have this done. We really need somebody to add a front fairing, tailbox, and a sock. The P38 is a nice enough recumbent, but most people wouldn't consider it much to write home about. But...

Very. Nice. :D Maybe you've already posted this and I've missed it, but what fork are you using and how are you mounting the derailleur?

What about getting a stem riser. Moves the handlebars up so it's both out of the way of your thighs and lets you sit up (which I find very important).

This is just hard. You'll always have this problem. But what you call "an incline" will become steeper and steeper. :) (I was riding a metric century and stopped half way up an 8% grade hill. I told my friend I was screwed because I'd never get started. He offered me a push and I made it up...
