I have a similar dilemma with my Freerider. I sometimes need the convenience of clip in type pedals when starting up on inclines. Often I can't get enough forward momentum on the initial stroke to stay upright, in which case being able to pull back quickly on the pedal and try again is crucial...

The Cruzbike family is certainly a wonderful and friendly bunch. I received the warmest welcome from them at the Retreat last July.

I think you're going to love it.

I weighed it on my wife's kitchen scale and it is 10.1 ounces. It has great ventilation - looks to me like it has more venting than the Giro Air Attack. I just used it on a sunny ride today and the tinted visor works well preventing glare. I used to use a baseball cap to keep the sun's glare off...

I found this on Amazon last week. I ordered it and really like it plus the price is a hundred or so less than the Giro Air Attack. The fit is good and the shield snaps on easily, either in place shielding the eyes or upside down. The only downside I see so far is that the visor is not available...

Good job on the photos Keith! Did Joy notice any increase of front wheel slippage when the panniers were loaded?

I prefer nylon hiking shorts that have a gusset crotch. I suppose they are not quite as "aero" as spandex but the extra air circulation helps keep things keep cool down there. I also like not dressing like the hard core roadies on their carbon DF bikes. The downside is the occasional bee that...

Abbott, is this T50 the model that was said to be able to accept a set of under seat rack mounts? If so, and if it can take a rear rack also, then this is the true touring bike the Cruzbike lineup has needed. Imagine, a touring bent that doesn't suck at hill climbing! Now we just need to get it...

Thanks Rojo (That's Jason Perez am I right?)

Could someone help me to figure out how to get my location on this map?

I took the newly acquired Silvio 1.0 out for a 40 mile ride in rolling terrain 2 days ago. Here are my initial impressions of the 1.0 vs the Silvio 2.0 that I have had for 3 years. Speed: Here the 2.0 has the hands down advantage due to the more reclined seat position. Still, the 1.0 was no...

Be careful. Carbon kills.

Let us know how it is going for you in your travels Elliot.

Good to hear from you Jeff and thanks for the advice. I'm having a lot of fun on the Freerider as long as as there is no intense hill climbing involved.

On rides with my bike club friends I regularly ride with DF riders with no problem. On most outings the conventional bikes outnumber the 'bents. There are probably no more than 25 bent riders in our club membership of 225 and that would be counting the trikes. The group I ride with are not the...

If I had Jeff's big hub motor on the back wheel and hit the throttle that could have happened. Actually though, he is clipped in with a harness. He jumped out of his basket once when he spotted a squirrel and he dangled over the side. He hasn't jumped out since.

Taking John's advice I mounted this old Blackburn MTB rack onto my Freerider using stainless steel struts purchased at my LBS and bent to the shape needed.

I put a rack on the Freerider and took our dog Fredo out for a spin around town. Trish snapped the photo before we left for our ride.

Thanks for the electrifying tips guys. Jeff & Abram used what they called pinion drive rear hub motors which they thought were superior in some way. I know they said the motor did not put any drag on the drive train at all when in pedal only mode. I'll check out the system you mentioned Super...

A local man had been trying to sell his Freerider and Silvio 1.0 on Craig's List for 6 months with no luck. I mentioned to him that he would have better luck using the Cruzbike Forum but he did not want to deal with the hassle of packing & shipping the bikes. Yesterday I made him an offer on...
