Lights? Hi Billy - You didn't mention what you are using for lights! Fill us in. I envy your ability to commute year round.

- Well I warned her about the "steep learning curve", but of course she didn't listen. This was after 5 minutes of riding! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmp6f1HANe4&feature=g-upl

Interested for my wife Sending you a private message, I'm interested in your softrider for my wife.

- I came across this article http://www.bikeradar.com/fitness/article/heart-rate-monitor-training-for-cyclists-28838/ "Heart rate monitor training for cyclists". Anyone training using a HRM? My take on this article is that I typically train at too high of 'zone'. And that I would have...

- Well I took the plunge: qrings. (rotorbikeusa.com) I had been fighting with myself: couldn't justify the expense. After all I usually ride with my wife (and have to keep the pace down). Finally in an impulsive move I ordered the qrings, I'm running a 52/38/26 triple 130 BCD, so I got...

- Haven't been out on the Silvio for about a week - too many "honey dos"! So I thought I would curb my wanting to ride with a discussion on the merits of handle bar positions on the Silvio. I like my bars (drop bars) set with a fairily extended arm while in the "drops". This gives (at...

- Haven't ridden my DF since I got my Silvio, about a year ago. So I decided to tune up the DF and give it to my brother-in-law. Took it for a ride to test my tune up....Wow, could not wait to get off that thing! I guess I'm recumbent acclimatized! On the DF: can't look ahead easily...

-- Here's some pictures of my Silvio before and after installing the short chainstay extension. My goal is to raise the BB height to get a more "closed" body position. As you can see I raised the BB height by 6". Haven't had a chance to test ride, it's cold and icy here in New England. But...

- From your store: When the Silvio is adjusted to a taller rider the crank gets lower to the ground, as it rotates forward. To compensate, we have produced 100mm and 150mm extentions to the chainstay. When these are used, the chain must be lengthened by 200mm and 300mm respectively. When...

-- Are there any pictures of the new silvio 1.5? What has changed?

I frequent the BROL (bent riders online) forum. Recently there was a discussion on how to determine chain length. For me the real question is: on a RWD bent, how many chains? (and what do they weigh, and cost?) Us cruzbikers can answer the chain question: ONE! I really get a kick out of some...

Coming out of my clipin's yesterday I got a little out of balance and came out of the binding to the inside (wheel side) rather than the outside. Got my heel caught in the spokes of the front wheel, dug a huge divit out of my heel. Ouch! Fortunately I was just coming to a stop. This is one...

I've been riding conventional roadbikes for a few years. Three years ago I developed a shoulder rotator cuff problem that made riding very painfull. I ran across the silvio on the cruzbike site, I thought maybe a recumbent would solve my problem. But the price tag and some very un-encouraging...
