2018 was down year in nearly all bike respects. In April, I had a serious accident...complete fracture of tibia and fibula, titanium rod in my leg, screws, nerve damage, physical therapy, months off the bike, slow recovery, etc. This put a big damper on my new acquisition impulses and desire to tinker with bikes. Things are looking up now. Riding was great therapy. Started a new job a couple months ago and I've been commuting by bike almost every day. One bright spot is that I did add a lovely red De Rosa to my collection.
