Here's my winter commuter: 2012 Fuji Nevada 2.0. Built up a Shimano dynamo hub front wheel with a Supernova front and rear light. Tires are the Nokian Hakkapeliitta W240's, which I find to be fantastic tires! Today there was 2-5 inches of fresh powder on the trails, so I brought a set of XC skis just in case it got deep enough to get some skiing in on the way home.

Yup, that's one possibility. But just couldn't let go. :(

That's a Selle SMP, right? I have a friend that swears by those seats...

Yes, that's Selle SMP TRK for touring model. It is indeed a really comfortable saddle in my experience. If you want to go for long haul, low-to-mid speed (up to 25mph), this is definitely one to consider. Not the lightest touring saddle around, and not high speed (racing kind) riding style AFAIC.

The design actually makes sense to me - no smacking your back with the nose of the saddle getting on from a stop. But, it's just too goofy looking (nothing personal), and I generally could care less about bike aesthetics

The attraction of this bike is riding in freezing rain (it was 31° and raining when I took these), and keeping the wind off in cold weather. I also have cargo capacity in both the front and back.

The sides aren't actually wavy - that's an optical artifact of the covering.

It's hard to judge scale with this bike, but inside it's a drop bar road bike. The windshield is forehead height when I'm in the drops with almost parallel back.

Does your head stick out the top? If it didn't I'd be constantly thinking, "I'm gonna get t-boned, I'm gonna get t-boned,...". Aren't crosswinds an issue? I'd love to see a pic of you actually riding this.

Anyways here's my bike how I rode it for today's commute. Skipped the gym today so ditched my rear rack for the seatpost bag. Felt a little faster going up the mild hills on my commute, was nice.

I left work early and was rewarded with this breathtaking sunset over the semi-frozen Hudson (not that leaving work early requires a separate reward):
