Like son like father then?! :)

Larry, very interesting. Have you thought (or tried) the superman pose with your hands/arms in the stub style? Does putting your arms in like this reduce your top-end wattage output because you are less able to handle the pedal-steer? Does putting your arms out straight (like on bullhorns) get...

Thanks Joseph. Before I ever got a Cruzbike me and a buddy dreamed of breaking the 20mph average on a 40 mile flat ride. Never made it - but I didn't know how to train up for it either and I wasn't terribly motivated beyond dreaming. Then, when I got the Silvio it became plausible but tough to...

love this idea Hamish. Been thinking (lightly) about the clutter in that frontal area for quite some time. about 6 weeks back I did a ride with a battery taped to the boom. Once I got up to about 20mph every stroke with my right leg would cause a whistling noise thorough a gap in that tape. It...

Just to finish off this thread, I got the official notice from UMCA today. Dear Lief, Congratulations! Your new record is now officially certified by Ultra Marathon Cycling Association (UMCA) as follows: Lief Zimmerman, 43, Renton, Washington Recumbent Washington, North-South Using previously...

Slim, There is no arguing with that kind of determination. :)

Plus remove the cost of maintenance - I understand I'm one of the rare Silvio 1.0's with a still functioning (still used) front suspension. Many people just don't bother once it goes out - mostly because it's not a deal breaker.

Between my V1 Silvio and the Vendetta 2.0 I still prefer the Vendetta on the climbs. The power transfer is that much better. That said - I become intimate with every bump (under 23mph) on the Vendetta while the Silvio 1.0 is butter (not a typo). If the hill is not really nice - the Silvio wins...

I second Chris' post. I knew about this official jersey while we were talking about the community one - Jonathan showed it off on his FB account. Doesn't change a thing in my book. As long as we don't blaspheme the brand - we need to make sure we don't even accidentally do it - it's a community...

I was thinking the same exact thing! and yes, She was a good bike. Cheers to Elliot's Quest!

Couldn't be better timing. I'll need to be packing mine up to ship to Utah in Aug. Can you send me (or post) the "packing list" of supplies you get for this?

On the contrary - you just did; You honor the company and the tribe with your determination and willingness to share! Very inspiring story. Epic effort. Tell you what, take today off and then start prepping for Tahoe!

other than OF COURSE avoid heavy metal boxes at ~20mph.

HOLY CRAP Elliott! A) glad you are ok. B) Hoping your injuries aren't bad. C) AMAZED at the damage to your ride. D) Did the driver stick around and charged with anything? Paying for everything? The fact that you are here sharing with us tells me A and B are pretty much acceptable given the...

54 is very very fast. If ever it looked like a good road for it that was the one. Things change very quickly at that speed. Oh and if I'd had a camera on we would have had a deer shot to watch. 10 feet or so in front of me. Not OVER me tho - crazy.

NOW you are cookin' with gas! I had NO idea - you had so much art background - fantastic!

I know tribal art is "fad-like" but something tribal would be most welcome. It can be subtle. It can be totem-like. It can be "celtic" community knots...whatever. It will probably be something only we understand - but that's what makes us the tribe. I don't have time to mock up my ideas but...

I can see a tribal design on one part. I still lust after just the Z logo on my chest (Zimmerman!) Love the idea of a "community sourced" jersey.

Heck yeah! I'm in.

Yay! Enjoy yourself!
