A bunch of sweet Sogreni stuff came into the store lately. My fave:
Sogreni Chain guard/cover
Test fitted on Shinbot's Fixie. Love it! (But maybe not for everyone)

You should see their stuff. They make bells, leather grips, racks, fenders, lights, and we have it all, whahahahah.
Tre expensive though

edit: they also make some complete bikes, even an MTB which looks like a paint stripped bike from '92.

Ooo, but their trouser clip just gave me an idea. I have some elastic cord and if I just add a frog, then instant pant clip.

I'm just gettin' into my winter groove, I think.
More toboggan hills to ride?
Perchance some snowy back alley, or park one evening, the spit?
My nine year old is now surfing the corplast sled to the bottom using heel and toe side balancing with knees bent wide stance. I think I have a natural on my hands.

No hills for this guy YET we were just out to the bus, he loves getting on it so doesn’t his big brother. I have heard the talk about helmets for kids on sleds, kind of crazy.
