    Shoot me and put me out of my MISERY!

    If anyone should stay on a trainer it's you Larry! Unbelievable luck (or choices?) :) I'm sure you will heal well - you've got more practice than most of us. All kidding aside, thanks for sharing the proxy-lessons. I'll remember them for at least a season - although if I got up at 3dark30 I...

    The "Learning to ride a Vendetta" diary

    This is my current incarnation/adjustment on my headrest. I cut down, and down, and down - the padding that I used until I've sorta settled on this - just taped in place. Then - I just used a black dress sock - a kinda long tube-sock over the whole thing. Doubled back on itself and it holds...

    This will be helped with SPD Clipless as well.

    The "Learning to ride a Vendetta" diary

    Awesome Tor! That said...when you do clip in it allows you to relax quite a bit more. Your thighs and hip muscles will be needed less and getting out of the clips has never been a problem for me; but being a previous recumbent rider I'm sure that's your experience as well. Parking lot...

    Columbia River Gorge Tour on my S30

    I think "random thoughts" is a required feature of any proper write-up from now on. Just like Charles requiring pictures.

    New Vendetta V20

    Congrats Laura! One REALLY great thing about recumbents is how much of "out there" you get to see. On an USS bent there's really NOTHING in your field of view. It's a great time.

    Don't Snicker at a Vendetta

    We have a saying at my office: What do you call two bikes on the same road? ...A race. It's always fair to race, perhaps not fair to say you won? Unless they snicker at you.

    Vendetta seat?

    Gotta say, arduino boards and illustrator conversion files I understand in this crowd. But potters and high-end, custom double knit scarves puts a layer on this tribe I wouldn't have predicted. I think if you were all in the same place when the zombie apocalypse starts, you'll survive. Maybe...

    1st century - longest ride ever

    I have a penchant for over tightening things - I'm thinking my plastic portion will fail sooner. I'm in the market for a custom solution. I'll contribute kickstarter cash?

    Vendetta seat?

    This is right - the Silvio 1.0 seat is part of the frame. The weight of the rider is proportionally higher on the tailbone, glutes on the 1.0 Silvio. The Vendetta, on the other hand, the weight is fairly well distributed from shoulder to glutes. Many folks (self included) add some custom...

    1st century - longest ride ever

    Thanks Joseph - I think I might do that. Installed the Topeak ones last night and they just feel chinzy - floppy. Especially a problem with aggressive cages for my bottles.

    1st century - longest ride ever

    Abbott, it's rigged on me - not the bike. You can see it getting "rigged" up here - bad quality I admit. I'll see what I can do about a better shot esp on bike.

    1st century - longest ride ever

    Abbott, I *think* he's talking about this one I linked. (thanks to Ratz for the tip - http://goo.gl/tXDuzG)

    1st century - longest ride ever

    Abbott has a different experience - seems the back pockets work well for him.

    1st century - longest ride ever

    Works on a Silvio 1.0 quite well. Vendetta?....I think I'm too laid back and the vittles may be breadcrumbs along your path. Not sure about the S30.

    1st century - longest ride ever

    I'm actually liking a 2L Camelback on my front (aka CamelFront) when riding the Vendetta - with some pockets on the top for other things like phone, meds, HammerGel (rarely used), sunscreen, etc. They are very easy to access. I haven't tested it yet (chung or rolldown) but I think (Elliot was...

    UMCA Across Washington N to S - 2015

    When they said "a local celebrity" I was like..."huh, cool, I wonder who's here?" #Punked by Abbott and his lovely wife.
