Hot r Not - Holiday Edition
Post your holiday themed commuter bike pics. Whether they be fat bikes in the snow, bikes you received as gifts, bikes you're giving as gifts, bikes that are decorated, or even bikes that are decorations. The only restriction is that they should be "commutable".
If you don't know how this works, be prepared for praise, suggestions, and best of all, good natured ridicule. I will start with a bike that only looks good for about a month out of the year, and then only if you're in the right mood:

Put a bow on it and place it front of a fireplace (if available).
... mounted on the trainer of course. It's supposed to be a fun thread, a sense of humor will be rewarded.

Maybe Santa will leave me a Functional Camera ..
BTW , it mostly Rains Here. hard to do selfies of me in my rain gear.
And it's probably not that interesting.
any how the red and green thing is a nice combo for the 'I wouldn't Ride that bike in this... season' Image.

If I can find somebody with a green front wheel, you can find somebody with a camera.

Marketing of Commodity sales has Ruined a Perfectly good Pagan celebration of the Winter solstice.
Area full of Scandinavians there is a bit more going on for summer solstice ..
No Christmas Card list to fill out a card to send one to, either .
A friend Decorates the Family Moose Head Trophy on the wall
and We get together then food drink and camaraderie 12/12 this year .
The Different set of friends on the 25th
The living in a tiny apartment when My Mother then Father Died , I had no place to put all that film , slides and such .
so I let it Go. My Own touring trip pictures are sparse, as film was a expense then too.
So be it .
Yea , people send pictures of all sort of stuff .. I wont stop the parade.

Hmm... we actually have about an inch of snow here right now. I should put something together as that could easily be it for the season...

Of course it counts !
From a commuting perspective it's hot. Got all the bases covered from panniers to a dynohub. From a holiday perspective, we've got some snow in the background, - good ! You just need to be put some festive lights on it or something.

Was that from this year? If so, you have a lot more snow that a little farther South (assuming that's St. Cloud). I used to go to school there. Where was the pic taken?
Anyway, +1 for snow depth, -1 for not riding it into that spot.
