    "Winter" - Cruzbike Virtual Time Trial Challenge

    I missed a few rides on this challenge due to my wife being in hospital (she is fine almost fully recovered from gallbladder surgery). I felt compelled to share my results from today not for the challenge as it has ended but to celebrate my own effort only made possible by this challenge. Today...

    "Winter" - Cruzbike Virtual Time Trial Challenge

    I would be happy with a tailbox (shopping to Australia included) emblazoned with my championship :p:D Hopefully their will be less interruptions to the riding schedule in the "summer" AKA winter. Great job to all those involved and thanks @LarryOz for organising.

    What's wrong with this picture :(

    Shit man, glad you are ok. Sucks the driver didn't stop got me thinking I need a safety camera (although dealing with insurance can be fun in a hit and run, been there done that pre-cruzbike, actually what enabled the upgrade)

    Kinetic energy recovery system (speculation)

    After watching GCN's coverage of the Taipei bike show tech from a mad ebike got me speculating if part of it could be used on a commuter to address my biggest pet peeve when doing so. TRAFFIC LIGHTS:mad: So my idea involves an electric motor hooked up to a capacitor to (possibly) replace the...

    "Winter" - Cruzbike Virtual Time Trial Challenge

    Here is my 3rd ride managed improvement this week:) Delta 126 seconds. It helps that prior to this challenge I was just glad enough to get out on the bike as a tired old dad. I was just keeping my legs warm until I could ride properly again. This challenge has shown me their is life in the old...

    "Winter" - Cruzbike Virtual Time Trial Challenge

    I agree external motivation definitely helps. I forgot to star the segment so my Garmin could show me my progress against my self. Digital motivation but at least something. I did have an opportunity to chase down a couple of riders that should have been easy pray for the yellow V but even that...

    "Winter" - Cruzbike Virtual Time Trial Challenge

    No improvement today due back to what I call the glass sealing where I cannot seem to break through and generate more power (or increase my heart rate, no power meter). It was only this challenge that enabled me to smash through that and generate some half way, decent numbers. I started with...

    Test riding a true racing recumbent

    Would love to see people's midsole modifications and pedals as this may address my hot foot issue (not a huge issue as I don't get the opportunity to ride long enough for it to become an issue at the moment) I may try with MTB pedals and cleats as I already have these although I can see one...

    Nice, very organised. I have a small dry bag attached to my headrest; with a multiple (topeak alien II) Leatherman plus a 2nd cheap small foldable plyer to remove the extension from my tubeless valve and into the tube in my frame should I ever need it (I did once on the way to work 2 years ago...

    TRP Hy Rd Rotor to thick

    So I have always had an issue centering my rear disc brake but never had a problem with the front. This may have got worse since changing the pads to TruckerCo Metalic pads. It got to the point where I removed the rotor from my wheel and went for a test ride and noticed a significant reduction...
