Too busy to ride on the 1st but got out today on the fat bike. 10 degrees
with a windchill of -8. Just rode around the pathways and green space
north of my house--played around on the sledding hill, and bounced over
logs and through snow drifts. Fun, but four miles was enough...

If you're getting a rental car, just make sure you get one that can fit a
bike. When I went to Tucson a few Christmas's ago, I rented a Dodge
Caliber and it made a fine bike hauler with the back seats folded.

I notice that effect a lot on the fat bike. LOTS of wheel weight there!
When you hit a climb with momentum on your side, you can feel that rotating
mass throwing you up the hill. It feels similar to the way a fixed gear
seems to push you along as you pedal it...

I agree, with the further caveat that they don't use it to go too fast on
MUPS and other non-motorized trails/routes.

I'm trying to "thin the herd," as they say--listing some of my bikes for
sale. 52-54cm sized road bikes, including a classic Bianchi, a Heron Road,
a Bridgestone XO-1, a nice CoMotion tandem and a Rans recumbent. Ad with

Thanks, Evan-no firm interest locally as yet but I'm in no hurry...

I sure like my bib shorts for longer rides. A hi-viz jersey is a practical
choice too-safe, comfortable/breathable, and the pockets are handy. If you
buy "Club cut," or size up, they don't have to be overly tight either...

My preference is to put my bike(s) inside the vehicle as well, to the
extent that I look for vehicles with that capability when I buy them.

It veers off topic, but I'm in the market for a new bike hauler and the
revised/2014 Ford Transit Connect is the top contender. The van version
has tons of room for bikes and gear in the back, drives like a Focus, and
gets around 30mpg hwy.
http://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/transitconnect-com
The new one looks a bit sleeker and runs on and updated (Focus) chassis,
but has plenty of space for bikes and camping gear...
"The long-wheelbase van features 130.6 cu. ft. of cargo space and can
accommodate items up to seven feet long, five feet wide and nearly four
feet tall."
