Very cool video! Those guys are good on the snowboard. I will experiment with vimeo and maybe post some better videos there. Yes, we are definitely faster on the Silvio, but we were pretty fast last year on the Sofriders as well.

I'll do that now... thanks Doug.

Well I finally got around to compiling the video I shot last fall on the 7-day ride. The image quality wasn't as good as I wanted, but you can get a feel for the ride. Some folks didn't believe how fast we climbed hills, but you can see for yourself. Also, many people wonder about going...

After a lot of research reading comments here on the forum and doing my own research by riding across North Carolina on a Campagnolo-equipped Silvio, it seems many of us have settled on an optimum component package for the Silvio. Not that there aren't some really nice Shimano-based Silvios...

Hi Jack, I was wondering how you like the Q-rings now that you've had them awhile. Have you determined an ideal position for the crank relative to the eccentricity of the chaninring? Jim

If your doctor gives you the diagnosis of athletic heart syndrome, you can congratulate yourself for reaching an elite status only a tiny percentage of the human family will ever achieve. In the hospital where I work, I generally see very sick patients with diabetes, congestive heart failure...

Sure, Doug. Last year Maria did the whole ride on a Sofrider V1, but it had been modified with a triple, which was effectively a double because she could not shift into the smallest ring. She looked good at the end of that week because she's my wife ;) I looked good because I only did the...

Yesterday my wife and I completed a 460 mile ride from Black Mountain, NC to Oak Island, NC. This is the annual CNC ride, with about 1500 cyclists participating. I posted some daily reports on BROL, but I thought I should put a summary of the trip here. Maria rode a 16-speed Silvio and I rode...

This may sound corny but my wife and I may have just set a new world record... We road a half mile side-by-side "no-hands" except we were holding hands. I was on a Freerider and she was on a Sofrider. We also practiced our "no hands" start, which is definitely easier on a slight downhill. I...

This is a barely used Sofrider V2, sold to a customer and returned for a refund to us here at Cruzbike, Inc. in North Carolina. Apparently the customer could never find an adjustment to avoid their knees hitting the handlebars. :? The customer repacked the bike with protective cardboard in...

Update: The bike mentioned above is now sold. If I get anymore returns I'll let you know. Thank you. Jim Parker

Well, my honor was at stake and we were doing some drafting with between 1 to 3 road bikers during that part of the day. Day 6: Made it to Trumansburg. 65 miles today. Got the the front hub fixed. Some big hills today and finally full sun all day so it was hot! One more day to go. It's...

Day 4 and 5: On day four we chose the long ride again. Planned to do about 75 miles again. We fell in with a friendly roadie on a 16 lb carbon fiber bike, retail value of his bike was about $5000. He was an experienced bike tourer, having done big organized rides all over the country. We...

Day 3: Observation: a 75 mile ride with rain the first half and sun the second half is better than the other way around. That's what made today so great. Here are a few of the highlights: Riding in heavy rain on a busy state highway with huge trucks blasting grimey mist all over us...

I have seen a lot of cornfields and dairy farms lately! Now sitting at a public terminal in a library in Seneca Falls, NY. Sofrider V2s parker outside. My wife and I were the first in to camp on Day 2 of the Bon Ton Roulet, which is a 7-day tour around the Finger Lakes "wine country" of New...
