Dear Santa
What is in your letter to Santa that is bike related.
I asked him for two things, guess which one will be under my tree.
Hint: It doesn't have wheels
What did you ask Santa for**********

If you've been good then the jersey would look great if you're on a shiny new road bike. You don't want that recumbent. 
If you've been bad then you'll get this.

I asked Santa for a new helmet. I don't know that I REALLY need one - not that mine is damaged or anything but its three years old & maybe newer technology would be a little better. Plus after rolling around in the back of my car for a while; who knows what potential little cracks their may be developing. And I really couldn't come up with anything else.
Right now - I really want some warmer weather. It is just too darn cold presently...

Porter20, I agree warmer weather would be a good thing.
Where in Orlando do you do most of your riding?

I'm still trying to decide if I want to ask Santa for a mtn bike. Never owned one and just can't decide.

Yes, just bring me weather that doesn't freeze my face and make the ends of my fingers hurt.
Oh, and a Nuvinci N360 hub.

Another problem. Where do I put the bike? Maybe sell the Kona?

Only 2 bikes? You're not even close to N+1 yet.

As you can see I kinda limited to 2 biles. Unless I want to keep one in the shed with the lawnmower. I don't think the bike would like that. Its so filthy out there I'd have to clean the bike before each ride.
