Experienced Recumbent Rider

[OldAZCyclist]

Hi Everyone! I am excited to receive my V20c on October 5th and am anxious to get rolling. To level set the thread, I have been riding recumbent bikes for over 10 years, although not the Cruz brand. I received a welcome to Cruz bike email from the owner where she suggests starting out slowly to acclimate to the bike's unique qualities. Given my extensive experience riding recumbent bikes would this still apply to me?

I do remember how long it took for me to feel comfortable riding a recumbent but at this stage of my riding career I am well past the rookie stage.

Thank you for any input.

Chris

If your other recumbents were rear wheel drive it might take a few sessions to get used to the moveable bottom bracket on the Cruzbike. You'll most likely feel comfortable in the reclined position given your long experience on recumbents so I'd expect your learning curve to be quite brief.

Good luck!
