    Paris-Brest-Paris 2019 video

    Comfortable Vendetta brevet setup

    Hi Tor nice to read that you decided to buy a Vendetta. A customer contacted me that previously bought a trike some years ago. He wanted a fast 2 wheel recumbent and bought my used Vendetta. He lived not far from me when he bought a trike. He had moved to Kirkenes when he bought my Vendetta...

    My Experience Learning to Ride

    I did see a comment in this thread about unicycles I used European crutches when I learned to ride a unicycle. I adjusted them in length so I could reach the ground when sitting on the seat of the unicycle. The crutches worked very well for me but it took me a long time to learn to ride a...

    Cruzbike in the Snow

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/sykkel-bent/albums/72157622710241741 I did ride with a Streamer but found out it was not so good for winter use. The roads can get very bumpy with snow and ice. That resulted in vibration on the hardware for the Streamer, which made noise. One of the things I enjoy...

    Cruzbike in the Snow

    If you search, winter riding on this forum several riders have done winter riding with a Cruzbike model. This winter I commuted until December on my Sofrider. I have often used it all year as a commuter. It is not ideal but better than I had expected.

    Winter riding

    I had a fairing on my Sofrider a few years ago. It was a Streamer the downside for me was the winter riding. We get snow and ice and the fairing would make some noise from all the vibrations. https://www.flickr.com/photos/sykkel-bent/albums/72157622710241741 The fairing that billyk made is very...

    Winter riding

    January was milder than usual we had snow once that lasted 2 days. It was not necessary to shovel that snow since it was a very small snowfall. Average temperature was 1.9 °C, 3.7 °C above the normal. Commuting has been easier this season compared to some of the other previous winters. I am now...

    Switching to Tadpole Trike

    The Scorpion 26 fs that I have is a demo trike for customers. Customers can test ride it and buy it at a cheaper price than a new trike. I don’t ride it on a regular basis. I did take it on a ride this summer to Arendal. Arendal is our neighboring city that is about 25 kilometers one way. I...

    Winter riding

    I have been commuting on my Sofrider the winter here has been mild so far. We did get snow early in November but I had some vacation at that time. The snow melted when my vacation was over and we did not get more snow. There have been some ice on the roads in a few mornings. This is so far one...

    Switching to Tadpole Trike

    Nice trike I have a Scorpion 26 fs without assist. Scorpion 26 fs is a very comfortable trike very good on not so good roads. Having an assist on a trike is Nice. Without an assist, most trikes are slow. It will be nice when Cruzbike has trike ready for sale. It should be faster than most of...

    Shopping with a Sofrider

    Yesterday I went grocery shopping with my Sofrider. I only needed a few items. I have two panniers one on each side of the rear rack, have also a single wheel trailer that I use sometimes. When I came out of the store, I unlocked my Sofrider, and loaded the groceries. A girl came on a bicycle...

    New Silvio in Grimstad Norway

    This afternoon I was able to enjoy a nice ride with Silvio 80 km. The weather has been very nice recently so I could ride in shorts and t-shirt. The first part of the ride was inland with a lot of climbing some hills were steep. I rode alone for most of the ride. When I got closer to the coast...
