Double Kickstand Who makes it and where do I get one?

Rack on Sofrider I looked at the Old Man Mountain rack and stuck with the one I had. My "custom" made brace is working fine. Solid as a rock. It lets me continue to use the rack I had and all my bags are set up for it.

Now My Secret Is Out I check at least once a day, sometimes more.

I have been bugging John to make decals available for those of us who want to repaint our bikes. He told me to make them up myself and to feel free to sell them to forum members if I liked. How much would be willing to pay for them?

Cruzbike colors Dear John, This is why I wrote and asked you for decals. A lot simpler to supply decals and then we can all chose our favorite color.

Fairings Farings are relitivly light, but the areo advantage is major. After the elections are over in Nov I was planning in harvesting some Coroplast and having a go at a free fairing. If I do it, I will post the results here

V vs All others tallaussiesje said "Very interesting all around. I wonder if there is some residual energy transfer issues with MBB vs DF because of the tendancy of the MBB to move with legs. In theory, you might be able to address this through a front wheel drive tadpole trike, or rear wheel...

I found "(e) sample size (i.e. a few people on Cruzbikes versus many on DFs)." to be an interesting issue. The number of good riders on Cruzbikes is a very small number of the total bent community. What drew my attention to the Cruzbike was the fact that Maria Parker is breaking her own...

Pedal Size My Sofrider takes 9/16"

Learning curve Hank, stick with it for a while longer. I've a few years on you and the first few days I was worring that I might have bit off more than I could chew. Stuck to trips around the block on quiet streets at first. I'm still not up to being able to take the long rides I could on...

SPD Psychling said "I know I am among the minority but I ride with Shimano sandals with SPDs. Recessed cleats. When I have to plant my foot I'm assured of rubber meeting the road, not metal on blacktop or concrete --- slips." That makes us a minority of two.

Eggbeaters vs SPD I used Eggbeaters on my trike but they took to much pressure to clip in so I put SPD's on my Sofrider. Platform on one side and clips on the other. Set to release pressure as low as they would go. Love being clipped in. As soon as i did I could pull and push. My pedal stroke...

Day Ten Clipped in yesterday for the first time. What a difference, pedal stroke smoothed out and pedal steer diminished considerably. Bike now has a rack and front derraileur and neck rest. Rode to Walmart to do some shopping. Arms are doing better, smother pedal stroke is helping. Bike...

My Rack Bracket I've always said that a bike with out a rack is just an exercycle. Well My Sofrider is a real bike at last. I wanted to use my Trek rack because I have the bag that clips onto the rack. I used a 6 foot measuring stick that I cut down to make the brace. Why you are asking did I...

Backrest & Cushion Covers I knew they were available, however, I didn't want to buy new ones till I am sure I'm not going to fall down and tear them up.

ICE Neckrest Actually I found it on eBay. It was used but in really great condition. I bought it when I was riding a Sun Trike. With it in place I could ride in a very open position. Whether or not I was going faster but what I did note that I was using my abdominal muscles more. Looking at the...

Pictures of Neckrest

Neckrest I just mounted a neckrest from an ICE trike to my Sofrider. Mounts to the two top seat bolts and adjusts up and down with a little fore and aft adjustment to boot. Will be posting pictures this week.

Race Crew Do you need a crew? We don't live that far and can hand a water bottle with the best.

My First Three Days Got the bike home on Mon. To late to try riding it. Tue. morn wobbled around the block. Back to the house for some adjustments and wobbled around the block again. Wed morn made two laps around the block with less wobble. Wed afternoon made two laps, again with less wobble...
