Bikes: Surly CrossCheck, Krampus

Tomorrow I finish my 4th full year of bike commuting (I moved closer to work around Christmas 2012 and started biking basically full time the first workday of 2013).

Three of those years I tracked my bike-commuting days on the CCCC. This was my best year, 190 days (including tomorrow)

I recorded my cyclocomputer odometer on new years at 9798, and I know I broke 12000 about a month ago, so that's 2200 miles and counting.

I can't remember the odometer on "my" car, but I'm certain it was driven way fewer miles than that. And some of the miles were gratuitously driven in that car instead of the family minivan, so my oldest could learn to drive stick.

Fitness, however... I'm still basically an almost 250lb clyde, exactly the same as when I started. I love to eat (and cook), and when I ride, I can't motivate myself to actually exercise, my effort level is constantly about the same as a brisk walk. Every time I check the average speed on my cyclometer, it's 10.x mph.

No significant new parts this year, although I lost my battle with tubeless on me & the wife's 29ers. I'll try again sometime next year with cheaper homemade sealant and tires that are specifically tubeless-ready.
