Fenders? Check
Studs? Check
Low fixed gearing? Check
Crappy frame that I don't mind getting wet and salty? Check
Lobster-claw gloves from Army/Navy? Check
Insulated helmet? Check
Wool snowboarding socks that go up to my knees? Check
Scratchy wool sweater from back of closet? Check
Wind-proof jacket in gaudy color so they can find my body? Check

And today I got my order from Campmor:

Yeah, I know. Please don't link back to this comment in Feb. I am not very smart, and forget over the summer what it is like. For some reason, I am really stoked to get it going this winter though. Maybe because I am trying to really commit to it more than I have in the past.
