Doug Burton–12-hour Technical Evaluation Reply

Doug BurtonAn awful lot of this is "not about the bike". It’s all about the rider, her comfort, confidence and condition. Remember, Cruzbikes are developed with "systems thinking", and that’s also how we compete. Optimizing one part of the system (the bike) at the expense of another (the rider) is a recipe for failure.

Doug has posted his technical evaluation of Maria Parker’s record setting ride last Saturday [10/10/09].
