Bring on Winter
After three years of Pugsley bliss, I have finally made the upgrade which was the reason for me choosing this frame over all the others. This year's Anchorage commute should be fun!

Awesome ride, but hell no on winter. It's raining, and I have over 16 miles to get home this evening, and would like to make it under an hour, which makes for sucking raining riding, bleh. I'll just pretend to be happy about being on my bike... maybe then I'll actually be happy.

I get excited for winter because you go from being a cyclist to being an adventurer! I have a new (to me) winter bike all tuned up and ready-- it just needs the studded tires.

Dammit...one of the reasons I haven't bought a fat bike is because I told myself fenders weren't available. My little ones don't like getting covered in gravel and dust in the trailer so I need fenders (besides for the obvious weather benefits). Now I know they exist, I'll probably start ogling fat bikes again.
