    New Dates for Cruzbike Ride Retreat!

    That is a bummer Marc, maybe something will change between now and then???? ;)

    Nohands riding and starting.

    OK you balance addicts, you think this girl on the bamboo bike has some serious balance skills, check out this routine! You need to be sitting down with one free hand to hold your jaw when it drops.

    Nohands riding and starting.

    It was very impressive indeed. She has very good balance. Not to take anything away from her but her seat is at about 40-45 degree which makes balancing a little easier. I do not doubt she could probably learn to do the same thing with a 10 degree seat. She would just have to practice and adapt...

    It is official. New UMCA records for Cruzbike

    Actually it is easier to get off of. Since the seat it flat you unclip and slide back easily. Getting on and going is a little more difficult I'll have to say!

    2018 V20 Coming Down the Line

    I think would great! I would insist there be a stipulation that the 4 "new" owners must get together and do RAAM the next year. :D:p:rolleyes:Signed in blood of course.;):cruzbike:;)

    It is official. New UMCA records for Cruzbike

    Yeah this seat is almost, flat - probably why so arrow, and probably why harder to make the power. See the V20 (below) at about 20 degrees and then the Arrowhead that is about at 15 degrees. The Arrowhead is the most Aero and the bike I used to average 31.8mph for a 10Mile TT. This proves that...

    It is official. New UMCA records for Cruzbike

    Thanks everyone. It was a huge group effort. Just like RAAM - you can't really do it all alone. To answer your question Matěj: The back end is a prototype Vendetta frame designed and built by Charlie and Thom Ollinger (Charlie used to race on Vendettas a while back and is as strong as a ox!)...

    Nohands riding and starting.

    Pretty impressive. Amazing control and balance. I think it will become increasingly hard the more laid back you are in the seat.

    Cruzbike Vendetta V20

    I am in the same situation where I live. I have to haul my bike to ride, so I ride and train on my KICKR trainer during the week in my garage with videos to watch and music to listen to. It ends up being great because weather does not affect the ride and the illusion of actually riding outside...

    Cruzbike Vendetta V20

    I've got to ask : why on earth would you sell such a fast and pretty bike? Also - were do you live for anyone seriously interested in it?

    Is my KICKR kicking the bucket??

    I have have my KICKR now for about 3 years and have probably put between 1500-1800 hours on it, so it has been used very regularly to say the least. I have recently noticed that it sometimes does not want to "work" correctly anymore. Like today, in one of my intervals, instead of holding me at...

    Wider Acceptance

    On July 7, 1933, a Frenchman, Francis Faure set a One-Hour record of 45.055 km (27.996 miles) that was faster than the conventional bicycle record at that time. This caused controversy in the world of cycling as Faure was considered a "second-category" cyclist, but his recumbent bicycle had...

    HITT training on a Cruzbike

    Hi Denis. Yes, the sugar is the hardest part, and you will probably find out like most of us that you are addicted to it. It might be harder than caffeine to kick. But if you can manage to do it, you will find a delightful surprise in that you will actually taste all other foods much much more...

    Ex-Cruzbike rider enough is enough

    Looking forward to you "ride report". Question: Why did you choose this particular DF to ride? Which other ones did you consider?

    HITT training on a Cruzbike

    Brook - it looks like you must have cut off part of your sentence. I am not sure how HITT training is at burning fat. From my experience that kind of interval training will burn off all the glucose in your muscles. It will help your top end strength and VO2 Max - not sure about burning fat...

    2018 V20 Coming Down the Line

    That is a cool idea Slim. I know Bob has a list of everything on the RAAM V's. Actual signatures would be the hardest to do. However everyone could digitally sign a doc, and then someone nice stencil with adhesive vinyl could be cur out and applied. That is how I created the lettering on my CF...

    sealing Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless

    I hate those boogers. If they get too big and break off, then they spin around in your wheel when you ride! :eek:
