Madison, WI Cruzbike owners

[cranky cyclist]

I was out on the Badger Trail today and thought I saw someone else riding a Cruzbike. I got to wondering how many other Cruzbike are in the area. Reply if you are.

Crickets...

Relatively speaking, I'm pretty close, being in the NW side of Chicago, but I don't ride in the Madison area. Someday I'd like to take the Sparta trail.

Someday I'd like to take the Sparta trail.

I did that trail about 10 years ago with a Vision R40. The almost mile long tunnels are fun. Don't touch the tunnel walls if you value cleanliness.

I am in Madison but did not run across your post until today. Have a modified Q559 (a "Q650b") that I use for commuting and trail rides. I also know of one other recumbent rider in Madison that was planning to buy an S30 frame set. Haven't checked with him to see if he got it built up yet. I've seen a standard Q559 once or twice on the commuter trails in Madison, but the last sighting was several months ago.

Other than Cruzbikes, there are plenty of recumbent bikes and trikes on the trails around here. I must say, however, that the Q650b always turns heads and almost guarantees one or two long discussions with people while on the trails. Fun...

Interesting to know. I pass through Madison occasionally from the west on University Drive to the east side and have never seen a recumbent.

There are many recumbents and trikes on the bike paths. I have also seen another Cruzbike. It was a quest. So they are around.

That was most likely me. I did get the Silvio up and running Ray. I had a few snafus putting it together, but it seems to be fully functional now. Feel free to call if you'd like to give it a go.
