My Dad was always interested in recumbents but could not find a design that was more conventional with a normal chain. He passed in 2018. In the early 2020 timeframe I started looking and found Cruzbike. My first is a V20c which is the fastest comfortable bike I had ridden to that point. With several iterations and changes I decided to purchase an S40 for group rides, more comfortable for me as a taller rider, and a better climbing bike for me in the area I live. I’ve been a 40+ year cyclist who loves the sport and all types on riding .
