Any chance somebody has an extra one?

I just had some more time on a Silvio with one of these and I decided I definitely want one. Feels both more comfortable and faster for me. I think these are long ago out of stock from Cruzbike, so hoping someone has one who isn't using it.

Saw someone on a black CruzBike (S30 I think) coming up Tunnel Rd yesterday in East Bay hills, Sunday 29th. I was going down the other way on a Silvio :)

Last fall I did a nice short tour on my Silvio in Idaho (~210m mostly on Trail of the Coeur D'Alenes). The worst part was disassembling, packing, and reassembling the bike. I'm thinking about doing some more touring in other states on the Silvio and I'm hoping somebody has some tips for checking...

I've got these tires on 3 other bikes and like them a lot. I finally got a set for the Silvio today only to discover that they don't quite fit, at least in the rear fork. The wheel does turn, but the tire is slightly too tall and rubs a bit against the very center of the fork. It looks like this...

Discovered this was broken yesterday as soon as I carried the bike outside and put it down. Now I'm wondering where to get a replacement piece. I assume it's just a plate of spring steel?

For a long time I just made sure each bag was full enough, frequently stuffing an unnecessary extra layer on each side to keep them from rubbing. I finally got tired of that and figured out a really simple way to cinch the bags more when they're mostly empty: simply tie a very small loop of...

For a lot longer than I'd like to admit I had been hearing a metal-on-metal rattle in my rear triangle. I finally discovered the elastomer shock was completely loose, and held in place only by friction. The bolt inside had worked itself loose entirely. I was surprised how far it went into the...

Compared to the last ride I posted about, this was a piece of cake. A leisurely 45 miles and 4175 feet of climbing with comfortable temperatures in the 70s. And all the climbing was one steady stretch that never got terribly steep. A few other riders in the group were impressed with how fast I...

Woohoo! I did the Presta segment today with the Grizzly Peak cyclists. 80 miles and over 4500 feet of climbing. I've done harder rides on the Silvio, but not this year (I know I know I've been lazy :-|), and probably not this fast, and definitely not this hot. At around mile 50 on a nice...

I'm starting a double purpose thread here. I'd like to see what other people got the most out of from the retreat, so others can see something they may have missed, get a new perspective, and also get a sense of what others were most interested in. The other purpose this will serve is matching...

Just got back from one of my favorite rides in the Bay Area, from SF, over GG bridge, climbing 2900 feet up Mt Tamalpais, highest point in Marin county, then flying back down. Totaling 56 miles, leisurely ~5.5 hours. I'm Pretty happy with this Quest picture I snapped on the top of the ridge...

The ride went very smoothly. I covered 93 miles the first day and just under 75 the second day. Everything went very smoothly. Longest day ride for me, especially considering the 4100+ feet of climbing on day 1, and definitely most miles in 2 days on an unassisted bike (I've done 180 miles in...

I'm doing this ride this weekend on my Silvio. I'm planning on doing the 80 mile route on day 1 and 50 miles on day 2, but if I'm feeling really energetic, I may do the 100 mile day 1. I'll post updates after the ride. Here's the bike:

Having enjoyed my electric Sofrider so much over the last 1.5 years, I wanted another so both me and my partner could ride assisted and in laid back fashion. I also wanted to try out bringing an electric bike with me on airplane trips, but the 26" wheels may make this impractical. I've yet to...

Having my Sofrider for a couple years, it's about time to post it here. I added a Mac 10T 500W (~1300W in practice) motor with 10ah LIFePO4 battery. Also added Radical Design Medium side bags, and a typical rack mounted to the frame holes near the axle, and angle brackets attached underneath...

Currently I have an electric assist Sofrider which does great for getting around town, but there's nothing like powering a precision racing machine with pure muscle on a recreational ride. I live in San Francisco currently, and don't want to be in a bed reclining position while riding around, so...

I'm in the lower haight neighborhood, but I'm willing to meet pretty much anywhere accessible via public transit. I've been riding a Lightning P38 recumbent for several years, but I'm ready to upgrade. I've been intrigued by the MBB option ever since I discovered it a few years ago.
