Nice.

This photo reminds me of something I'd forgotten about my cycling history. When I moved to Ann Arbor from England a long time ago (early 80's), I brought the old Dawes with me and used that exclusively around town for many months until I bought a car. My commute to the U of M campus wasn't far (maybe 5 miles) but I did it every day regardless of weather (this was in the winter, bought the car in the Spring). My colleagues in the Dept thought I was a bit of an nutter (shades of "Mad Dogs and Englishmen ......") to ride in even on the coldest of days but I enjoyed it.

Wish I had a similar photo of me with the old touring rig in the dead of a MI winter. We hardly ever got near-zero F weather like that back in England - really makes you take notice.
