CRUZBIKE OWNERS IN UK
Hi Cruzbob and Grommit,
I live in SW London (Twickenham) and have a Sofrider. I have changed the tyres to cope with a more variable terrain which seems to have been quite a success and my next modification will be the pedals to stop my feet from bouncing off them. I think I am going to go for the double sided Shimano spds. I am also planning to upgrade the chainset to a triple.
I always feel like a bit of a celebrity when I go out! People look and point and make comments. I suppose you get the same? Or maybe you cycle so fast you are just a blur and they don't see you?
It would be interesting if the website had a map of the world pinpointing all the Cruzbike riders...

Hi Angela.
There is a map on the site that shows Cruzbiker owners.

I think you need to be logged in to access the page.
Would be great to know if there are any other Cruzbikers in Gloucestershire.

Cruzbiking in London...
Angela,
I commuted from Kentish Town for a few months... generally got good comments, such as "that looks like a hoot" (I'm aware as I type this that this may be quite a local idiom... translation: "that looks like hilarious fun"), or "that looks very comfortable", or, most satisfyingly, "you've got quite some acceleration on that thing"
Over time, you start to feel a bit put out if nobody does stare or comment!
It was only late at night that the oh-so-imaginative yell of "get a proper bike!" was ever heard.
I use double-sided SPDs: good for control, good for speed, and easy to get out of in a hurry.
The bike made an appearance at the office party, and various engineers could be seen riding a Cruzbike round Fitzroy Square with varying degrees of success, which may or may not have correlated with levels of inebriation...
