    Kind Shock Pump - Wanted

    Anyone have an extra Kind Shock pump? I used a regular shock pump at my LBS and it seemed to work, but I would prefer to have the proper accessory. Thanks.

    First "Real" Group Ride on a Silvio

    It has been a long time since I took part in a group ride do to a year and a half of illness, recovery and relapse and the fact that I simply lost interest in cycling as recreation. To my own surprise, I had the itch to join the local Friday night ride, named The Big Easy, which is 20 miles...

    Higher gear, learn to spin or enjoy coasting?

    I noticed that when going above 30 MPH, I tend to spin out of my highest gear, 53 x12. At high revolutions on a slight downhill, I begin to feel unsteady and I will back off and coast until my speed begins to drop. I assume the aerodynamic advantage of my body position on the Silvio allows...

    Ride of Silence on a Silvio

    So far it's the only "action" shot of me on a Cruzbike. This was at the end of the Ride of Silence in Columbia, SC. I rode the 7 miles with my 10 year-old daughter.

    Zefal Spy Mirror A+

    I have become accustomed to using an eyeglass-mounted mirror (CycleAware HeadsUp) because I never could find a bar-mounted mirror that would stay put and give a clear view of the road behind me. Mind you, this goes back to my upright-riding days. I received a Zéfal Spy mirror from...

    Dealing with Motorists

    I have lived in many different places and have seen many things, but there are some of the worst drivers here in Columbia, SC I have ever seen. I commute to work by bike and rarely have an issue (except for the pack of feral dogs yesterday) but today I had to take a detour for a medical...

    Biked to Work Entire Week

    I set aside my $35 Magna Fix-D after cobbling together a 650c Cannondale mostly from parts I had lying around. I kept the gear inches close to the same, but the bike probably weighs half of my Target-bought boat anchor. Now that I am riding something close to a proper road bike, my commute...

    Practicing Silvio Climbing Technique on a DF Bike

    I have recently returned to riding my bike after taking much of 2012 off due to illness. I am riding a $35 clearance Magna singlespeed as my commuter, and while it is heavy, it is great to be back on the road and getting noticibly stronger and faster. With that in mind and the plans of...

    First Ride of 2013

    Last year around this time, I was officially diagnosed with Graves Disease and had spent most of 2012 off the bike. Today I ventured out for my first ride of the year. I covered less than 7.5 miles, but it felt so freeing to be back on the bike.

    Receiving or Giving a Cruzbike for Christmas?

    Who here is getting, hoping to get or giving a Cruzbike for Christmas? I've never had the typical "bike under the tree" experience, but I was wondering if any of you might get to relive that joy of childhood this year.

    Vendetta Polished Fork and Front End Parts Question

    I am working on putting the shine back onto a 1994 Cannondale R1000 which has a bare aluminum polished finish and it got me to thinking about the Vendetta's polished bits. Are they clear coated, anodized or just polished? If it's a polished finish, I can't say enough good things about the...

    Not enough action here?

    Am I the only one who obsessively checks this forum looking for new postings? You'd think I had nothing better to do, but since I am not currently riding a Cruzbike, I need to find some way to get my daily cycling fix. I'm just saying, I am a self-described bike nut and I just can not get...
