A Trip Worthwhile ~ Psychling & Cruzbike Reply

Psychling is the ‘BentRider Online Username of  Dan Fallon from Chicago. Dan just reported back on his 2,ooo mile round-trip journey to Lumberton, North Carolina to test ride Cruzbikes. October 28, 2010, Dan said:

I’ll be spending the weekend of Nov 5th driving to the HQ of Cruzbike in Lumberton, NC, and back (Chicago) to road test the Cruzbike Vendetta (and other Cruzbike models) with Jim and Maria Parker. As this will be a 2,000 mile whirlwind 2.5 days any sane person should ask: “What so special about this bike to cause you to do this?”

The bottom line:
 
Dr. Jim Parker, Cruzbike Co Founder and CEO, captured some of Psychling’s Cruzbike experiences on video and says:
Dan arrived Friday evening and overcame his beginner wobbles very quickly. He took his first ride on an old beat-up Cruzbike Sofrider, and then (after dark and not videotaped) he rode the Quest 559. The next morning we (Maria, Jim, and Dan) rode about 27 miles on the Silvio (pretty fast, and clipped in). And then tooled around the neighborhood on the Vendetta.

 

 Dan says:

I’ll be brief: I placed an order for the Cruzbike Vendetta yesterday. And I’m hoping to do the same for the Cruzbike Sofrider soon.

Sonny Neumiller ~ update, 11/05 4

Sonny Neumiller VancouverbyRiverAugust of last year, I did a brief piece on a hand-cyclist [Sonny Neumiller] bound from Yorktown, Virginia to Seattle, Washington to meet up with his daughter for her wedding. I followed that piece with more on September 9, 2009, where we learned he arrived at his destination on his hand cycle and made his daughter’s wedding. We were not quite sure of some of the details between our meeting Sonny and the dipping of his front tire in the Puget Sound. Well, tonight we learned more. Sonny’s son, Nate paid a visit to this blog by virtue of a Google search on their last name. Nate left a comment with us.

I just googled my last name Neumiller and a picture of my dad came up on this site! Cool stuff! My dad was having a lot of connectivity issues with his computer and iPhone which is the reason he wasn’t able to update his blog daily!

My dad updated his blog all the way through his trip.

He made it to Pueblo, CO and my cousin met him there and they drove a truck to the Oregon Coast. My dad was running out of time off of work and had a shoulder bothering him (Go figure that…a shoulder hurting from a guy who peddles his bicycle with his arms! ;) )

My dad is hoping to either complete the entire trip again or he is going to start from Pueblo, CO and ride the part of his trip he had to skip. Either way your encouragement and inspired stories would be much appreciated! He’s still riding 18 miles to work and 18 miles back almost everyday!

Thanks for your interest in my dad’s awesome journey!

Nate

Thanks for stopping in and leaving us a note. Your dad is a true inspiration. We look forward to reading more about his cycling, albeit all by hand. The best to you and your family. –jim

Fargo ~ the cage update, 10/13 1

IMG_0416We have not forgotten my quadricycle, Fargo. Last I posted, Ashley had just received, 09/09, the cage for modification to reduce weight and a few other adjustments. He is still working at it. Yesterday, he share his thoughts:

We are going to completely redesign the cage.

I’d like to come back to a point with an integrated tail fin.

Still have cargo room in the back though.

Making it split down is going to be tough as we want to keep it as light as possible and any junctions need bracing although we are working on some ideas.

I stand ready the see what he comes up with. This time, there is absolutely no hurry. Thanks Ashley!
