Since my road bike's 8-speed shifter bit the dust yesterday I decided to take the fairing bike for a change. It felt a little strange since I hadn't used it this year and only once or twice last fall and winter. I'd been keeping it in reserve for really nasty weather, which we haven't had for awhile, so I needed to modify it a bit yesterday so I wouldn't be sweltering inside. Opened up some breeze flaps outside of the handlebars for a little air flow, which also improves the handling but I forgot that the downtube indexed shifter (that I moved to the handlebar LOL) is a hair off and I needed to tease it into gear. But that wasn't really all that distracting. I remembered to throw a pump in back but no tube or patch kit which was a little distracting.

It's the only bike of it's kind in existence so it draws a few stares, but thankfully no video recording. That I noticed. Maybe local drivers are finally used to me.
