Is that possible? I've looked very closely at Spin Cyclz' pictures from a different thread: At the rear, clearance should not be an issue (?), but are there any places to attach the struts? At the front, clearance between fork and tyre is reported to be very limited, so I'm assuming that it...

Yeah, it's all just math in the end, isn't it :D Thanks to all for replying. We all seem to have similar experiences - so we're either equally right or equally wrong ;) Sincerely, TorBenT

I timed most of the riding sequences in the film. She appears to run at 60-65 rpm. I haven't done any fast riding on a CruzBike, but that cadence would be too low for me on a regular bike or a lowracer. Sincerely, TorBenT -- but I'm a fair bit heavier than she looks and probably not nearly as...

Scientific proof of knee strain/pain and the avoidance thereof? Not that I've seen. I have read plenty of anecdotal "evidence" that higher cadence is better for the knees than lower, but that (like most things) it's somewhat individual. My own experiences support the notion. That's why I...

Hello, I notice many write about their optimum cadences being somewhat lower on their CruzBikes than on other bikes/recumbents. I also saw in this video of Maria Parker's record ride that she appears to ride with a much lower cadence than I would have thought. I believe that for long rides you'd...

That's great. We have the same sort of campaign here in Denmark, running through all of May. You can read a little about it here: http://vcta.dk/english. Sincerely, TorBenT

Yes, that shark looks very promising :) Besides, nice to hear that it's not generally a problem in windy conditions, but as you said, we probably have more wind here than you do. Anyway, I'm a bit more confident now :) Sincerely, TorBenT

Right, I went over the older posts again and found two different views: * Peder Torgersen writes that crosswinds are problematic, but he's mostly able to deal with them by slowing down. He's had to stop a couple of times, though. * Robert Stewart writes that he doesn't notice crosswinds all that...

Thank you John, Of course I had already checked the archives and communicated a bit with mr Torgersen (just 160 km Northwest of me). However, I don't believe anyone has written much about concrete experiences with a front fairing in crosswinds, which is my major concern. I may not have looked...

Hi I'm strongly considering buying a Sofrider V2. Either that or a "regular" recumbent. I intend to put a HP-Velotechnik Streamer on it for a bit of weather protection. Now, my daily ride regularly has a fair bit of crosswinds, in this season (and in fall) often 10-12 m/s. Does anyone here have...
