    Just a little fun

    This isn't Cruzbike related, but it's bike related, so I figure that's close enough. I stumbled across it today and though it was funny, so I'm sharing it. https://jokesfunnystories.quora.com/Juan-comes-up-to-the-Mexican-border-on-his-bicycle

    Riding no hands improved after unicycling!

    It’s funny, they’ve actually gone up due to Covid! There is apparently a lot of demand for them these days.

    Riding no hands improved after unicycling!

    Hi all, Long time Cruzbike owner, first time poster in quite a while. I have one of the first Hydroformed Vendettas (the yellow ones) and I ride it a lot, maybe 4 times a week or so. I have always been "kind of" able to ride no hands, meaning for a short distance, in a mostly straight...

    You Know You Are a Cruzbiker When: You have way more KOM's around your neighborhood than ever thought of having on a DF!

    You Know You Are a Cruzbiker When...

    This happens to me a lot too. Sometimes it happens when I'm riding with one of my DF buddies and I think to myself "yeah, I know who they are taking the picture of!"

    The next generation Cruzbike?

    I'm with you, Blair. Honestly, there could be a few minor improvements here and there, but overall, I'm quite happy with my V. I wouldn't buy a CF or Ti if it were offered. Al is good enough for me.

    Especially not the color!

    The next generation Cruzbike?

    I have one of the first yellow hydroformed Vendettas, and I love that bike! To me, it is still new and I wouldn't change a thing!

    Vendetta Restoration

    I got it. Just mount the bottom bracket the other way around, and ride the bike on your belly instead of your back. Steering might be tricky, but I think you can make it rear wheel drive that way. Good luck! :D

    Generational differences

    When adults make comments like that, smile and pass them (assuming they are on "normal" bikes). When kids make comments like that, smile and wave.

    V20 vs. S40 Compared

    Another thing you can do is to lower the headrest and then add an air cushion. I find this helps tremendously and now have ridden several thousand miles this way. Credit to Mr. Steve for the idea. http://www.cruzbike.com/forum/threads/headache-from-riding-v.8994/#post-115033

    Ouch

    For what it's worth, I've always used tubes on my Cruzbikes. I've had flats on both front and back wheels, usually after hitting something, going both fast and slowish. None of them have ever resulted in a crash...usually just "am I flat? crap" and then I stop and fix it. Hopefully your...

    New to Cruzbike. Have a Silivo V-??. How can you tell. Fitting is a struggle when you are 5'7".

    Take a picture of it, post it here. We can identify the model for you. As far as I know, Cruzbike doesn't put serial #'s on their bikes.

    Why is my rear brake in the lower position?

    Shimano Ultegra works in the upper position too.

    Farther, Faster, Fitter, Fun - (4F - The unofficial Cruzbike training team and support group)

    Has anyone ever done stair climbing as cycling training? I am going to Philmont this summer with my son, and it's too flat around here to do any hiking with elevation, so I've been climbing stairs (in my house and nearby football stadiums) with a weighted backpack. Seems like it ought to be...

    Halloween Fun...

    That's how I feel waiting at a stoplight sometimes!

    Has anyone cut their seat to allow storage in frame?

    The underseat storage area is pretty small. Get yourself a moose-pack instead. It's just as much (or more) storage and helps a little in the aero department. https://cruzbike.com/moose-pack
