Father's Day gift, put on my new Cruzbike shirt and went for tour of the Burlington Vermont water front on a Segway. The first time on a Segway is almost like learning to ride the Cruzbike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeE7txkQbO8

While riding today in Sun City Center Florida it looked like a Quest headed in the opposite direction and by the time I crossed a few streets and got turned around it was gone. We have a few other recumbents in the area but I have never seen an orange one. I thought I was the only Cruzbike...

I installed a modified keychain camera on the Cruzbike to see what the shocks were doing. I tried a couple different adjustments on the rear shock but it doesn't seem to be getting the travel that I expected. The front shock seems to be working well. Anyhow, here's the video, I hope...

Need a new name. I have the conversion kit with the V2/k frameset and the Freerider handlebars. I liked the Softrider style handlebars but liked the openness and what appears to be a more positive control of the Freerider handlebars, however I didn't like the weight of the heavy steel...

Last few trail rides in Vermont. Just beautiful with all the leaves but will be covered shortly with snow.

I recently install a SRAM Dual Dive internal hub on the Cruzbike to compare with Sturmey Archer CSRF3 that I had been using. Both are 3 speed internal hubs with freewheel cassettes. The SRAM comes with it's shifter that utilizes both the hub and cassette shifter on the right handle bar. I...

I was looking for opinions on the use of the Freerider handlebars vs. the Sofrider during hill climbing. I suspect that the Freerider handlebars may add a little more weight over the Sofrider, not sure. Does one setup put you in a better position for climbing? Phil

Purchased the conversion kit from Jim in Lumberton, NC last Fall on my way from Vermont to Florida. Later purchased the V2/K frame and Freerider Handlebars and biked over 2000 miles in Florida, now getting ready for the return trip back to Vermont. Anxious to see if all the biking in the...

Was this bike made by Cruzbike? It's on Craigslist. http://tallahassee.craigslist.org/bik/3678551290.html

My dog likes to run along side of the golf cart so I tried letting him run along with the Cruzbike. Everything was good until another dog appeared and he pulled me over so not a good idea. My neighbor bought a new Catrike for his wife and it's too low for her to get in and out so I now have a...

First real hill ride with the Nuvinci N360 hub traveling over the bridge to St. Petersburg Florida and the Fort De Soto Park. Troops were stationed at the park during the civil war and then the Spainish-American War. Today it's a beautiful park with miles of recreation paths, beaches, snack...

I just installed the Sturmey Archer CS-RF3 3 speed cassette hub with a 9 speed cassette. I was considering the SRAM DualDrive but the Sturmey is a lot less money and I prefer the trigger over the twist shifters. This hub did add a little weight but I think being able to shift when stopped has...

Had a day when the wind died down a little so I could ride the path from the Florida Skyway bridge to St. Petersburg. The path runs from the Skyway bridge to St. Pete and crosses over two other bridges. One of the bridges was a pretty steep climb, at least for me, but what a view from the top...

Now that I have a two legged kickstand I want to make sure that the front wheel doesn't swing around so I added a parking brake. The bracket just swings down and locks the front wheel in place. All aluminum with double stick tape and tie wraps to hold in place. Also brazed a couple more...

I installed the Freerider handlebars and after a couple of 20 mile rides I like them very much. I had a custom made equally wide handlebar before but with everything mounted on top of the handlebar would obstruct my view. This puts everything further forward and more open view plus the feeling...

After a 25 mile ride today gets me over the 1000 miles on the Cruzbike in 2 1/2 months. I know it's not much compared with some riders but considering I'm 72 and 20 lbs. over weight it's a lot for me. I'm looking for recommendations on gearing. I'm running a front sprocket 28, 38, 48 and...

Mounted the GoPro camera on the helmet and went for a nice 20 mile ride on the streets and nature trails. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUiUtB_O6gA Phil

Just added a few things to the Cruzbike and curious if anyone else had tried them. Got a two legged kickstand and 3/4" extensions for the peddles. The kickstand is nice for brake or shifter adjustments as it will balance without tipping over. Moving the peddles out 3/4" seems better for me...

Getting to the end of 2012 and almost 700 miles on the V2/K in the last two months since my purchase from Jim Parker on my way from Vermont to Florida. I have been riding a rear wheel drive recumbent in Vermont where we have lots of hills. Riding the V2/K in Florida was a major transition...
