My bike is naked...

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It looks like your rear light is sticking through the wheel spokes.

When it gets to 100+ degrees, you have a bottle cage. Also, when you ride at night, you have a bottle cage.

In this cold? No where near that much.
Probably more like every half hour.
I hydrate well before.

I was thinking about removing the decals from my cosmic carbone wheels, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

You ride without water? And stop to drink? Are you sure you're in the right subforum?

My Calfee is nude. No paint just untreated carbon fiber. But I I do need to treat it with 303 to keep from becoming sun burned.
