Things you shouldn't do on a Cruzbike

My dog likes to run along side of the golf cart so I tried letting him run along with the Cruzbike. Everything was good until another dog appeared and he pulled me over so not a good idea. My neighbor bought a new Catrike for his wife and it's too low for her to get in and out so I now have a Catrike for running the dog. After about 1700 miles on the Cruzbike I have to un-learn pulling on the handlebars as the Catrike is very sensitive. So other bike designs do have their usefulness.

One shouldn't try to go through sandy soil along side road

Was riding my Silvio with group this weekend. Rider ahead of me pointed out "dirt" along side road. I didn't react quick enough..the dirt was actually more sand than dirt and about 6-8 inches deep...kind of grabbed and twisted my front wheel and took me down..no damage to the bike...just a few bruises and scrapes on myself...

Florida dog running

Floridabike, you gotta try something like my walky dog .
Squirrels happen and you need two hands for control.
During training I added a bungee to agument the inch or so travel the internal spring provides.

I take my Golden Doodle (3/4

I take my Golden Doodle (3/4 Standard poodle and 1/4 Golden retriever) on Cruzbike walks quite frequently. He trots alongside and we have had no problems. He is good at "heeling" on the bike, and also, I hold the leash so that it is not attached to me or the bike. If he should decide to take off, he will go with the leash, and without me or the bike.

Easy.  Farting.  Never fart

Easy. Farting. Never fart on any kind of recumbent. Just don't, trust me!
