As it turns out, I don't ride it too much. I built it up to for a double century this year. I didn't realize how different recumbent muscles were from upright, so I never made the commitment to it. Now, I have too many upright bikes, so the Cruzbike conversion kinda sits there and is my child transport vehicle.
