Hello Folks, I tried Crank Bros. Candy pedals on my Cruzbike and I found that they were hard enough to clip in and out of that it caused the front wheel to jerk, and down I went--more than once. Is there a better choice? Would SPDs with the spring set for the lightest force be better. I'm open...

John, thanks again for the reply. I wasn't thinking of adding any additional components, but was wondering about bolting up sofrider-type handlebars right where the normal road bars bolt up. It seems, at least from a distance, that this ought to work, but maybe there are some details that I'm...

Good points, John. I wonder if anyone has tried a handlebar like the one you supply with the Sofrider on the Sylvio? It would allow the stem to be adjusted even further forward, and would also allow use of the SRAM twist shifters, which at least this writer thinks are perfect for a FWD bike.

Thanks to John and Jim for your replies. Unfortunately the wording of my post was misleading. When I wrote "right into,", what I actually meant was "heading directly for." I also appreciate that the Silvio's "stem" does not stick out beyond the handlebars except for the metal that wraps...

When you sit in your Silvio, the stem is pointing right at you, and is really quite high--so high that I wonder what would happen in a front-end crash. If one crashed into a pretty solid object like a car or tree at some moderate or higher speed, your arms wouldn't have enough strength to hold...

Hi all--I'd love to find a Silvio or Sofrider to try in the greater Boston area. I already know how to ride a MBB bike, so I won't crash. I have a conventional SWB recumbent, so we could trade test rides, so to speak.
