    Thank you for bringing this back into view. I am absolutely interested. I am unavailable mid-August but available the remainder, though border can always complicate things.

    Cargo bike FWD

    The challenge that I see is the same with any bicycle to tricycle conversion, namely you are no longer able to lean to turn so your steering dynamics are significantly changed. On a Bike, when turning, the stresses on the rear frame and axle are less because the lean keeps most of the forces...

    Setting an A5-RR1

    Mine doesn’t see below freezing often, however I has seemed to never need any top up. I did check it a couple times in several years and never needed anything. Perhaps pressure was released for shipping?

    Working and Working out - setup

    What about using the laptop stand for the keyboard. Would that work? Or maybe clamp on bar ends. Make tray out of thin plywood with a lip on the bottom edge similar to a music stand and screw or bolt it onto the bar ends.

    Whooo Hooo... My first 100 miles on a Cruzbike

    When I switch between my two pairs of shoes I noticed that with the same mountain bike pedals the difference the (bottom ? of the) shoe changed the clip in and so did cleat placement, though I tried to set them up exactly the same. . Years of wearing both shoes so that is not a factor.

    Q559 Quick Front End Stiffener…

    Awesome! My mind is churning with all of the possible impacts on the forces of this simple modification. I am curious, @Postapocalypsia, did you move the seat back at the same time or did you ride it with the seat in the original location before doing that “mod”?

    My Shimano pedals have a very small hex tension screw on the very front of the pedal. One on front and one on rear. They are small maybe 2.5mm or 3mm.

    Are you a pusher or puller?

    You know what they say, if you can do it while driving, you can do it riding your Cruzbike.

    My Very First Recumbent is a V20

    You need a double-barrel sawed-off pistol-shotgun on each end. Traffic would get out of your way then!
