Looks great doofo. Do you find yourself using the barends much? It’s never occurred to me to put them on before but I could see myself using them from time to time.

Oh man oh man oh man a tiny bit of doofo reflection in the photo. So far we know doofo cannot be a vampire because some doofolikeness shows up in the reflection.
Questions left unanswered:
human?
gender?
dorkatude?
profession?
P.s. nice lookin bike. I spent the day swapping on my CX tires, changing saddles and gearing up for some much slower practical riding. Pictures soon.

I’ll only acknowledge the one hand, but will concede there is strong evidence for another.

Doofo, how do those studded tires ride on non-icy pavement?
I’ve been thinking about picking up a pair.

nope. i pass by the capital everyday, but never lock up anywhere near there… i’ve been riding my grey crosscheck w/drop bars, black fenders, platforms, and fixed with… _gasp_ two brakes. basically my cx bike w/diff wheels, gearing, and pedals.

they ride fine - they make a bit of a humming noise, and of course have pretty high rolling resistance, but fine other than that.

20F on my ride this morning. All I had were half-finger gloves. Suuuucked. Ran to the LBS and picked up some full-finger gloves for the ride home!

Just got my winter knobbies today.
The snow is fucking coming down.
We’re supposed to gain six inches tonight.

When I’m not locked up outside, I hang all my essentials (gloves, lock, helmet) on my bike so I can’t accidentally leave without them.

Nice. It was a blast riding home last night in the fresh powder. This morning wasn’t as great though, as all the car ruts made tracking a sonuvabitch with my 25’s. Still like having skinny tires most days though, so they’ll stay.
Kinda wish I had wider fenders though. My narrow road cascadias work great for rain, but let a good amount of snow fly back on my shins and shoes.

My cascadias have flaps. It’s actually coming out the side of the fender above the flap and getting on me. It only happens when I go through a good half-inch of snow or more, though.

duct tape or the shit they make campaign signs out of works for mud flaps.
also, what ever it is doing outside needs to stop.
