    Nice S30 with panniers Video - One Handed!

    Probably he stops to drink? The bike also has front and rear derailleurs. I wonder how shifters are installed for both on the left hand?

    Nice S30 with panniers Video - One Handed!

    Came across this video, very nice! He rides with one hand due to a disability. Amazing! I wonder how those panniers are attached considering the rear suspension! He says he used a front bicycle rack. Looks nice.

    Nohands riding and starting.

    +1 .. and I might add, use pedals with cleats or toe clips. They make it a lot easier. You don't need to add anything to your bike to achieve this. This cruzbike design (aka MBB FWD) is inherently pedal steered. In fact, when first learning to ride it, you are basically countering(and fighting)...

    Puncture Proof Tyres on a Quest

    B.t.w. unless I missed somthing, 26" x 1 & 3/8" does not fit on 26" x 1" rim becuase 26" x 1 & 3/8" uses ISO 590 rim , while 26" x 1" uses ISO 559 rim. Thought it important to note.

    "The New Silvio is Coming"

    Wow! Beautiful green accent colours! Eyelets for under-seat pannier racks? Maybe? This is a 45 degree touring combo I suppose!

    T50 - Everyone likes a bike you can kick start

    Yes... Not Walmart kind of cheap, I agree. but compared to other recumbents, yes it is. May be when mass production starts it will get cheaper? Maybe.

    T50 - Everyone likes a bike you can kick start

    The video includes a picture of the David Byrne's softrider in East Africa, possibly Kenyan Coast? No, I think that was Zanzibar ? Cool!

    T50 - Everyone likes a bike you can kick start

    The goal, it seems, is bare-bones functional simplicity, low cost of mass production and a foolproof seat angle for the newbies. The seat tilts no lower than 50 degrees. That's pretty upright, (hence) no headrest is needed and I think you probably can glance slightly over your shoulder. It also...

    Does Cycling Cause Brittle Bones? Is a recumbent worse?

    Iam not as medical doctor, but my understanding is that to trigger bone regeneration requires impact, vibration in the vertical direction (compression). Cycling especially when seated does not load the pelvis and backbone as much as running or squash or tennis. Coupled with the sweat induced...

    Does Cycling Cause Brittle Bones? Is a recumbent worse?

    It would be nice to know the minimum recommended length and frequency of high impact load bearing exercise as complementary to the cycling. For instance, 30 minutes jogging three times a week? Rope skipping ten minutes repeated 3 times a week? Jogging on the treadmill for 10 minutes every three...
