@cudak888, that's a bike share bike? What fun. Or is it? The Citi Bike bikes here are 50-lb tanks. Some have NuVinci continuously variable ratio hubs. They're fun but many don't work properly and thus don't give the upper ratios.

I haven't equipped any of my bikes for winter because the Citi Bikes are the best winter bike I could hope for. It's heavy, it has wide tires and drum brakes, and the upright position helps with slippery conditions.
