Get Yourself Seen!

Courtesey of BikeSnobNYC. Get yourself seen! There was just too much retro going on not to share this.

New winter bike!

The latest arrow in my quiver. Diamond Back hybrid of some early nineties vintage.
I’ve swapped a set of Ritchie riser bars, my ooh do comfortable seat, and if course some anti theft tape to ward off thieves.
The skinny chromo frame is light to shoulder when hike a biking and just whips down snow packed trails and streets alike.

It’s a really fun bike to ride so far, but could use new rubber. Considering studs, but so far the conditions this winter have been completely unnatural for as long as i can remember.

Today it was +7 C. January 6th… Normally I would have already broken out the windchill snorkel for the -45C cold. Unnerving to say the least, but so awesome for Winnipeg winter bike commuters.

Klunking?

The hipsters have taken a break from Nascar?

Nostalgic video none the less.
