    That explains it! I've been tapering like I'm 250 years old. :D

    SOLD ------------------------Quest - $750 - Sarasota, FL

    I'm guessing V2. That's not a bad price.

    Winter riding

    I've thought about doing similar things. :)

    Quest 451 to 507

    I'm not wise... :)

    Hands-free

    My guess is because going up a slight incline you completely control the speed by pedaling. You pedal faster, you go faster. You pedal slower, the bike goes slower and in all cases, your pedaling finds resistance. When you go downhill, you end up where you either need to speed up your...

    Hands-free

    What Bob said. You want to find a nice straight pass (maybe with a slight upward incline and just pedal smoothly. Also, are you clipping in? I can ride no handed without clipping in, but it's much easier if I am.

    Cruzbike Quest 451 For Sale in New York City Area

    I think so. Double crankset instead of duo drive.

    Halfbike

    I have something similar (and much cheaper). Good on flats. Sucks going up hills (and not fantastic going downhills either).

    V20 MTB set up

    Huh. I wonder why nobody ever suggested using a triple before. (mike drop.)

    Front suspension

    You don't need front suspension on a Cruzbike or Cruzbike conversion. I've seen many very good conversions without suspension, so work with what you've got, take pictures, and we'll go from there.

    New powered wheel

    I saw this and though the same thing. It only has a non-pneumatic tire, so it might not be the smoothest ride ever, but that isn't really the point.

    How small a granny gear can you get on the Vendetta

    I don't know if the vendetta is less stable than Sofrider or my conversion, but I've got a 24t on my conversion and 22T on my Sofrider. I use this gear a lot and can comfortably ride under 3mph with no issues (even when pulling a trail a bike). Of course, I'm gravitationally enhanced and it's...

    Wabbit ears

    I've got a florescent yellow strap on the back of my helmet that I use for attaching my light. It is about a foot too long so I get a similar effect (although my strap is not as wide, so probably not as visible). Flashing lights really help, too. :)

    New owner from Chicago

    I rode to the train station on Friday (on my upright folder). It was 10 degrees. I've done 5 degrees. Go get out there! (Or not. :) )

    Sebring 2016

    Hi Larry, I'm glad you're getting better now and aren't too badly dinged up. I'm sorry it was as painful as it was. I read the update on Facebook. It was written as if everybody knows you fall over for fun. :) Maybe tubeless or solid tires (or training on solid and racing on tubeless) should...
