It’s currently -2 outside but all I can think about is getting a new wheelset for my bike. The bike itself is an old Nishiki Olympic that I converted to single speed but the current wheels do not have a machined breaking surface on the side and that can be treacherous when the weather is freezing. So for the moment I am taking a break from The Mask Project and focusing on cycling. Which makes even me wonder about things like sanity. This morning I had to warm up the car and scrape ice from the windshield and just that little exposure to the cold had my fingers burning. Yes, I was wearing gloves but still, it was dang cold.
Anyhoo, I suppose that once the temperature hits the single digits in the positive I will hit the bike shops and see what I can find in the way of single speed wheelsets. Craigslist has been a bust so far.
My Lemond Fillmore. The following images were taken at the Hawthorn Farm MAX platform on a rainy day in April. This day in April as a matter of fact. I have the Lemond for just over a year now and it continues to be a joy to ride. I really love singlespeed bicycles. The clean lines and simplicity make riding single speed a real joy.
Oh yeah. Talk about hybrid energy, I mix it up between MAX and my Lemond singlespeed. Take a break from your gas powered vehicle and give bicycles a try.
