Last Saturday I had an opportunity to test ride a CruzBike V20 race bike. Being horribly uncoordinated, it has taken me a long time to build up enough courage to ride something like this where you're laying nearly flat on your back. But after riding around in the parking lot (pictured) I felt the need to get out onto the street and see how fast I could go. Normally my pace on a "standard" diamond frame bicycle is 19 MPH on the flat, but this bicycle easily accelerated to 26 MPH and just held on. I didn't notice any headwinds, but afterwards I ran the same stretch of road on my own bicycle and was held back to 18 MPH due to headwinds. Notice that I was wearing street clothes, not a bicycling kit. I think I need to buy one of these fantastic bicycles.
