Cruzbike has certainly been in the news lately, and with my self-professed fascination with FWD I thought I’d look into the Cruzbike Silvio: “Seat Back angle is 45 degress and is not adjustable, that is, the seat shells form an integral, structural part of the rear frame.

Wednesday, 22 July 2009 05:54

“[Zakk']” is back. [Zakkaliciousness] has posted a LOT of cycle related photos on July 21, 2009. Beach life in Copenhagen is sure different than it is in Olds, Alberta, Canada.
