I'm certain now our mystery Miyata rider is a regular at this same "Village" location. She's switched over to a summer ride now, a Motobecane Mirage. It seems riders around here enjoy their single speeds for winter. I haul heavy stuff on mine and keep to a shiftable setup. Why she doesn't use the Moto for Winter instead I don't know.

I took another few of a different winter mode bike that day too, a Marin of some type, complete with Betty Crocker easy bake mitts affixed the handlebars. For a seat set that high plus with sloping T.T. I don't know why he'd need a sacksaver but luck favours the prepared. It wasn't cold out today, only -4c or so but 10 degrees below normal for this time of year. Nice Sunshine too. Your clothes feel hot, but the air is chilly.

Despite 2.5cm of snow forecast in the next few days and the possibility of more snow yet, I'd say this will be the last of winter volkspedes picture fashion show for 2018.
