Good for you I guess, but I don't ride a touring bike as my winter commuter/bar bike/city bike because it's not right for the job. I ride ss/fg for that.
Anyone else see this?
if you want to get that picky about, you might as well say a bike is not the right tool for the job. Might as well drive or ride a motorcycle.
It's all about bragging rights... "Oh you road 100 miles on a geared bike? well I did it on a fixed gear"
