Reflective tape intended for use inside the rim was once sold under
the name Sidelights. The package looked like this:

They were very reflective, and showed up well from the front, back or
sides. I haven't seen them in years. The advent of v-section rim

A 20T might be just the ticket. Are there any downsides to running a

David, with that 58BCD crank you can run a 20T granny. That will give
you a similar gear to the 22-36 with your 34.

I have an old S-works crank that will run that combo and so will some
of the Ritcheys.

Eric -- Yep, that was a section of the old NWP. I, too, am a railroad buff. I
particularly like old streetcars. I work for the SFMTA, which used to be
called
the San Francisco Municipal Railway.

A good combination is to wear a peaked cap with a good sized peak
under your helmet, and either a pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses. You
can angle the peak down which helps to keep the wind and snowflakes
out of your eyes, and also protects your face. I have a nice insulated

Thanks. It is good. (Went to their beer dinner last year.)
Those photos warm me up nicely. Especially as it's 0F here with 16+

I don't mind at all. Like the re-use of the old tunnel.
Does anyone know which railroad that was for? Part of me thinks it
was the Northwestern Pacific (NWP). But am not sure.
(Yeah, I'm a railroad fan. Big time.)

Absolutely, goggles in anything below 25F are great!Depending on
how cold/damp your weather is, I recommend dual-pane goggles if you
can find them. I have a single-pane set that seem to fog whenever I
want to cover my nose.
