Yesterday (Saturday) was the first time I had attempted to ride my conversion bike with the faster group. I definitely missed my Silvio. While the conversion kit is a great thing, simply upgrading components, wheels and installing a Cruzbike kit on a cheap frame does not make a superbike...

Hi All Just did another 40 mile ride through southern NH tonight.. pretty hot , in the mid 80's but like it warm when riding... According to my Garmin GPS, over the entire ride I averaged 17.6 mph... over the first 21 m I was going at 19.3 mph.. these are great numbers for me, much better...

Hello All, I have a Cruzbike Freerider and love it. I am interested in building conversions and was wondering if anyone knows if a Lowrider Bicycle can be converted to a FWD Cruzbike? To see examples of Lowrider bikes visit: http://www.bicycledesigner.com. The BMX style may work well; see...

Hi Cruzers, Thursday, I put my new Sofrider together and took a few rides around the neighborhood-interesting. Friday, a few more rides on the top of the hill and changed to clipless pedals—more interesting. Saturday, a little more riding and then drove to start of the 100K Strawberry ride...

Hi All As I've mentioned before, those GU energy packs are awesome on long rides, but a pain to deal with. Went to GU's website and ordered the GU bottle mount. Mounts right on the steering column on the Silvio, pretty convenient! Just fill it up, and squeeze. Harold

Any Cruzbike riders in the Orlando area? Contact me via this forum. Let's get together to ride and compare notes.

Hi Last night I got in my longest Silvio ride.. it was a 42 mile ride from Ashby, MA up through WIlton, NH, over to Milford, NH and down through Townsend, MA and back to Ashby... Some really gorgeous roads for riding in Southern NH. The first 8 miles were pretty much all up hill, some pretty...

Does anyone have experience with a Dahon Cruzbike conversion? I have a Dahon Helios I am considering converting...

Last Saturday (25th May) I took my Sofrider V2 along to an OzHPV organised group ride in Sydney. We had a very nice leisurely ride along the Cooks River Cyclepath from Olympic Park to Marrickville and back, stopping midway for lunch at a great cafe in an old Post Office building (called the...

Found a new Ultegra long cage derailer on ebay for 40$ too good to pass up.It works a lot better than the LX. I now have 2000 fun filed miles on the bike with no problems. Im looking forward to the Bentup Cycles ride in 3 weeks. Jack

[I'm reposting this one since it shows the child seat application, it is from late 2005] The Mule is a prototyping bike. Its a low cost Falcon "Optima Cyclone" purchased in the UK which found its way to Australia. It was bought on ebay for AUD $225. The bike as pictured on ebay. Then we get...

We had a huge group head out on our Saturday morning group ride. Of course, I was the only recumbent. It was cool and overcast in the morning, but that is typical for this time of year. I was Mr. Optimistic, going sleeveless from the start. Others wore arm and leg warmers and vests... I was...

I hope this is in the right sub-forum. While cruzing the web I came across a store by the name of Ben's Cycle in Milwaukee. http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=76_108_116_409&products_id=2025 Highly recommended by some members of the forum here, is listed the...

One of the bike club members set up a ride to go out to Hangar 24, a new upstart microbrewery here in Redlands. Now, I'm all in for two things in life; bike riding and beer. Combine the two and I am sooooo there. The ride start is about five miles from my house and the plan was to ride...

I've got a kreak somewhere in my seat, I just cant put my finger on where the noise is coming from, after several goes at retensioning all the nuts and bolts it's still the same so it looks like I'm gonna have to take it all apart and re install using rubber insulators at every metal mating...

The one thing I have noticed help me improve the most is hills. It seems like a natural progression, when you think about it. Hills make you stronger, which will inevitably translate to speed on the flats. Going up hills requires you to spin more, which makes you breathe harder, which...

I finally got my new tires put on the Silvio. I mounted 25c Continental Gatorskins on the bike and was beginning to wonder when I was going to get to test them out. Between working the bicycle club's Redland's Classic booth and chores at home, the prospect of a decent ride was looking pretty...

Hi all, I updated this page on Silvio Component Selection http://www.cruzbike.com/silviocomponents.html

Hello As the end to the cycling program I've been in over the past 2 months, we had a power test tonight. It was using the Tacx trainers which have a built in watt meter. The past 2 months, I've been using my Silvio on the indoor trainer. I have been getting spoiled rotten with its comfort...
