You will be able to count indoor miles too if that helps. :)

Hello Glen, I live in Hilton Head Island. Not super close - but do-able - you could come over on a nice day and enjoy the beach before you head back, or rent something for a night an make a mini-vacation out of it, I have a T50 - which is great to learn the FWD-MMB "feel, then I have a Vendetta...

please post some pictures.

I read through this thread and did not see anyone suggest mid-sole cleats. I don't think I have ever had "sleepy feet" ,but moving my cleats to mid sole solved any hot-foot problems I had. I can ride all day with no issues.

This was in the fall last year, but they are doing it in May in 2022 There is a class for recumbents. I did this last year - but will be riding teh Skyline Drive on this day! https://www.bikereg.com/cca-time-trial-2021

Hi Rich, Thanks for the offer - unfortunately we only have a lodging enough for 1 additional person so this would not work. :(

Welcome to the tribe Todd - you will definitely like shorter cranks when you get around to - I would make your first change - you will be surprised how much shorter will help and feel better -- use this calculator - http://www.recumbents.com/wisil/misc/crank_angle.asp I ride between 140-150 -...

This will be my 3rd time riding the Blue Ridge. It is so much fun riding and hanging out together. The pace is easy and lots of breaks for food and fellowship

We have planned a '"Skyline Drive - Blue Ridge Ride" for 2021 and are looking for 1 other rider to fill out our "group of 8" - Note if you would just like to be the SAG driver, the other 7 will cover your lodging, gas costs - all you would pay is for food. Who is going: Jim & Maria Parker Larry...

I skip "anything" with padding that will soak up my sweat and make my rear end raw for having to sit in it. :rolleyes:

I ride a full disc on the back of my V20 all the time. Usually 80 in the front. This works for well for me even if pretty windy. Full disc on the front is hard to handle with gusty winds or on roads with big trucks. Full disc on the back gives more stability I think. Never really noticed a...

Hi Vaughn, I have not experimented with that. I just tapered it from "zero" where the seat turns up to max at the top. If you have wide shoulders you might need something considerably stronger if you want to support them beyond the sides of the seat as it goes up. Maybe make a friend who does...

So beautiful Marco - can't wait to visit you in Italy! :)

I moved my Look-Keo pedals all the way to the middle of my shoe. I build an adapter. I've been using it for 3 years and love it. You might have to move you boom a bit closer depending on your pedaling style. Same for you Trike.

I am planning on going to Amsterdam in July for the HPV World Champsionships: (https://www.facebook.com/groups/HPVWC2018) - I might could help get the bike there for you guys if you can make a deal? Probably would be safer and cheaper for me to take on the plane with me. Christian - How far are...

I'm impressed- what coldness! haha Way to go for both of you. They best way to learn to ride: progression on seat angles down to the Vendetta.

An iconic Cruzbike for sure! Matched the first one I had about 5 years ago. Ride quality - if you threw some 28mm tubeless wheels/tires on this baby with about 80psi, and a Ventist seat pad I think you would find the ride quality drastically improved. :rolleyes:

Hi Vaughn, Welcome to the Cruzbike tribe. All great comments so far from everyone. My 2 cents: Power: I think over time you will find that you will be able to apply pretty equal power to both sides as riding recumbent seems to not use the calf muscles as much. I any case the body is so...

You can't go wrong buying a bike from Gary - He was my introduction to Cruzbike 5 1/2 years ago - and also helped me purchase my first Cruzbike: a Silvo just like this, then 4 months later helped me swap all the components over to a Vendetta Frame. Master Craftsman and bike guru extraordinaire...
