Peugeot and the Arctic Vortex!

Took my Peugeot out this morning to ship some parts at the post office (gave me motivation) and it was snowy and cold! Chicago is still under the Vortex umbrella, so I figure start or never to ride no mater what prevails. Snow, ice, wet and cold, great for conditioning the mind and soul!

That's not real snow. Google gratuitously added it to my picture. In software, we call hidden features easter eggs.

Here is the original.
