Hey, Darby -- It's looks like we're sort of in the same boat. I'm hoping to get off meds eventually, too, and my doctor is all for the bike. It feels so good...
Thanks for the info on the seat cover, Ken. I'll order one from the place where I got the bike. I didn't mean to give the impression that my husband was...
I want to upgrade my bottom bracket and cranks. There are a lot of choices to be had on eBay for good prices. Can any one tell me what the size and threading...

Consider getting a pair of the old fashioned toe clips. When I try to spin instead of mashing my feet slip off the pedals. I had no problem finding them on...
I'm using clipless pedals which allows me to pull up as well as pushing when the going gets tough on a hill. They're kind of pricey, but we already had the...

I took a look at the seat on my EZ-3 SX and on the bottom part it is just a knit fabric with a draw cord. Looks like I would have to take the seat off and take...
I recently put a front and rear dynamo light on my USX. I got the kit off of EBay and had to extend the wiring, but I'll never have to replace a battery. I...

Has anyone done an equipment comparison between the "classic" bronze model and the newer black/silver USX? Anything different besides the paint? I test rode...
We bought our black bike last Fall, so it's been on the market at least that long. Never having seen the bronze model, I don't know how the two compare. ...
