    No hands

    Below is the story of my learning to ride no hands. Your Mileage May Very (YMMV). ———— I rode no hands on my diamond frame bike after trying and trying and eventually it became relatively easy and I would zip up my jacket or open a granola bar or cruise along without any issues. That started...

    Tobin Mini-Pannier - attach to rear of headrest?

    I saw the new mini-pannier in the email blast sent out by Cruzbike. It looks as though it could attach to the rear of the headrest between the velcro of the standard headrest. If/once I get one to try it I'll post pictures. If you look at the below product pictures it appears as though the...

    Light Whip, Illuminated Flag Pole sources

    Aussie Banter Container

    Placed in Cruzbike Adventures (Solo, Tour, Social) because it is definitely a social adventure - wild animals, the unknown, excitement galore, maybe even a little fear. :eek: Container because you are more likely to hit the spittoon if there is a target. Possibly some of the banter can hit...

    Tri shorts vs. “Regular” vs. Bib vs. Recumbent specific

    Do Tri shorts work well on lower seat angle Cruzbikes: V20, S30, S40, Q set to low angle? I am thinking the minimal padding might work well and the quick drying would also but I don’t have experience to lean on. I have one pair of recumbent racing shorts from reverse gear (may they Ride On...

    Comparison: Q45, QX100, Conversion Kit, S40

    Even though my QX100 is a full bike with all but handlebars stock from Cruzbike I often prefer the earlier Conversion Kit seen in my avatar.

    Cardboard Aided Design - Tailbox

    Somewhere around lunch time I decided I better just get out there and ride even if it was to the nearest corner and back so I went outside. The fresh air and the pile of cardboard in the garage called my name and I hacked together a tail box to put around my bike bag behind my seat on my...
