Alan, the first rider in the group really bombed down the hill fast, and the guy on the trike that passed me was moving pretty fast at times. But most of the riders were making sure they stayed out of trouble. The views were way better than they appear in the video. At one point during the...

Larry, yes there were certainly some hazards. The South Gate Road, which we went up, is in a lot better condition. The feeling from watching the video is a lot different than how it felt riding. It can get kind of dizzying watching the video, but it never felt like that when riding. Maybe it's...

I can't get dimension A shown on page 10 of the Silvio Assembly Instructions any shorter than 84 cm. I need it 79 cm based on my knee height. The boom seems to be hitting a stop. Since the example length in the Silvio Assembly Instructions is 80 cm, I figure I must be doing something wrong...

Where near Berkeley, CA can I find a Cruzbike to test ride?
