First Day!

[pseudogrammaton]

Man, I'm already loving the Q45, went around the block 3x now w/out crashing, WOOT!

She's mostly tuned & I'm past the point of desperately over-controlling it w/ excessive counter-steer. I figure not bad for a first-day neophyte at 60 years of age.

It's a very comfortable ride, back & tuchus are completely happy w/ the seat padding & monoshock design, & delighted this old dog can still learn new tricks. I'm doing this for my health & a Cruzbike has to be the most pleasant full-body workout a person can have while sitting!

It's a keeper!!

P.S. I gather I'm having better luck than the previous owner who suffered some skid marks on the side of the seat back.

Congrats and welcome to the Tribe!

Welcome pseudo Lee R.

(re: p.s. Hopefully the previous owner leaned it against a brick wall, said oops, and gave you a discount!)

Yes, welcome! Impressive first day!

I'll take a wild guess that you're not in one of the many cold-wet-snowy places today ...

Take your time and get the bike - and yourself - tuned. The Q has a lot of adjustments. Small changes can make a big difference in the feel of the bike. You'll find lots of tips and hints on this forum. Worth browsing.
