Today went to visit our kids in Indy. Road on the Fall Creek & then the Monon trails. The Monon was very crowded with lots of stops & starts, & a detour that went thru a couple narrow spots. Made it thru, didn’t crash or run into anyone. There were definitely some tense moments, but overall an enjoyable ride. I remember back to my first recumbent, a long wheelbase with under seat steering, and how it was a long time before I was really comfortable. This is a little like that but I believe it will come quicker. The trails are pretty rough, love the suspension!
This will probably be my last post in this thread, as I don’t think i’ll have much more to report. I’ve got close to 200 miles on the bike now & am really enjoying it. Doing some longer rides, 42 miles today, & pretty much just get on & ride now. I was very apprehensive about buying this bike cause of some of the stories i’ve read on how hard they are to learn to ride. Maybe it helps that i’ve ridden all different types of recumbents over the years I don’t know, but it hasn’t been all that difficult. The videos are very helpful, but time on the bike & handling drills were the key for me. Thanks for all the encouragement. I’m one very happy Cruzbike owner!
