Today we talked with Jim Parker, the MD who is behind the amazing Cruzbike that he, his wife Maria Parker and others are using to  set speed records everywhere they go with the machine. Straight ahead we talk about how its Front Wheel Drive makes his recumbent  different from all the rest  and how it is that this drive train also allows its riders to add their upper body for greater speed and climbing gains. Jim ends with the breakthrough announcement that they are coming to the market with a 3-wheeler that quickly bolts on to an existing Cruzbike and will probably be the fastest trike one can buy anywhere!
