Great machines in this thread. I really like getting out on the bike in the winter. It is a different sort of riding certainly but since winter lasts such a long time here in the nation's frozen capital I wouldn't be much of a cycling enthusiast if I didn't at least try and make a go of it. Expecting about a foot or so of snow, it started this afternoon while I was out getting groceries. I was delighted to spot an old all-rounder parked at the grocery bike lock up.
A three-speed, no less! I've seen this three-speed before, I figure its owned by a store employee, I'm not sure of its origin as the decals are gone, but I think its low-end. In any case I know I'm not the only one who likes to see a three-speed out doing its thing. The front wheel on the three-speed is a 26" wearing a studded tyre, while the back is 26 x 1 3/8 with the AW hub. Next door is my MTB, wearing 26" Schwalbe studded.

Loaded down with groceries in the panniers and basket, the bike is stable.
