I have two "winter configuration" projects underway now. Winter in Seattle means constant rain and cool temperatures (typical winter day is the high 30's). I ride a lot in the rain, but I don't ride on the 3 or 4 snowy days we have each year.

1. My commuter bike is getting a Shimano dyno hub front wheel and dyno powered lights. Never owned one of these before (except the little bottle generators we all had as kids). Eager to see how it goes, and how it is to set-up. I will post a thread once all the parts arrive.

2. My Davidson long-distance bike -- which was built to accommodate fenders, but has never had them -- is getting permanent fenders. I've ridden it with Race Blades the last 3 winters; this year it's time to go all out.
