    Something (really stupid) happened on the way to the Park

    larry really sorry this happened. glad it turned out okay. we live and learn. mighty effort sharing. we all do silly things from time to time. once i unintentionally overloaded (wet sand) a box trailer and coming down a big hill it started to sway. i had to speed up as the trailer was pushing...

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs

    without doubt i think your heart rate will be up from normal on the mountain bike now that your heart will have to work against gravity. typically i see an increase in 10bpm for a couple of weeks before it settles back to prior performance. good luck with the 24hr mtn bike race. talking about...

    Haters going to hate

    it is the singular positivity of cruzbike and it's members that i adore not the silly bravura of the loud unhappy ? inconsolable brol few hi jacking what should be a collective celebration of achievement and not anything more. parochialism at the expense of being magnanimous is tantamount...

    Bottle cages for Vendetta

    why rent when you can buy ratz :) i reckon the cage bottles whilst making a difference and noting our speedy Larry's exhaustive scientific experiments are not much to worry about. i have read repeatedly that it goes body position on bike 40 watts and we are there already with the TT marvel...

    New Vedetta NeckRest R&D

    awesome effort. getting comfortable on the bike is all. i was able to use simple closed cell foam and overlap about 6 pieces like a leaf spring suspension unit and tie together using cable ties. this provided a suspension element. this was placed in front of the supplied hard closed cell pad and...

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs

    yes whilst you master the bike your position is what feels best and safest for you. i learnt on the original handle bar for a 1000klm and would not have been able to handle the bullhorns till then. i was merely making the point in line with your goal that straighter arms make you more aero and...

    UMCA Century Road Record Attempt - Oct 11, 2015

    The Road to 500 miles in 24hrs
