It was 29 degrees out, again. I hate the winter, personally. If my wife didnt complain about it so much I would have stayed in South Carolina, so many beautiful rides along the river. On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 12:26 PM, Andy Smitty Schmidt <54ca...@gmail.com>wrote: > The morning bike commute here i

The morning bike commute here in PDX has been nice too. This thread inspired me to head out a bit early and bring the camera on my morning commute... on my Bosco'd + Sugino'd + Grip King'd + friction shifter'd Big Dummy. There's some Aussie wool in there too. Pic proves that "family single tra

Good for you guys. It's been a (seemingly) long winter here and the SimpleOne still hasn't been outside. Been riding one of my other bikes with the studded tires. Was hoping to be able to remove them in a week or so, but the next week has snow forcast for 3 of the 7 days. Sigh. Eric Platt St.

Fantastic! We've been getting up into the 50's so yesterday I rode 30 miles -- about 6 on secluded forest roads with snow and slush. Here is a photo from just off Painted Rocks Road. http://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/8556160404/in/photostream With abandon, Patrick On Thursday, March 14
