I spent some time tuning up my fared winter bike and rode it today as a shake down test although mid-40's is typically too warm. The front end had been starting to sag a bit, since the coroplast and aluminum brace tends to bend over time, so I braced that up and I added some overlapping hinged panels on the sides where my handlebars swivel out which worked really well. I want to pull the front up about two inches though because it feels weird to have cold air from the eyes up and warm dead air everywhere else.

The commute today, taking the Greenway instead of major roads was uneventful. In this weather we don't see many bike commuters or even pedestrians, and my late start missed even the die-hard joggers so it was just me and the deer.
