We pay $2 a month for park maintenance here in Longmont. This includes snow plowing the Class I bikeways. Yesterday I got my money's worth and found out that the crazy Sri Lankan tires on this bike deal well in packed snow, even at high pressures.

It's a bit cooler today, but I'll be out there again in a while.
 
Spring took a while to arrive in Ohio this year, but yesterday I rode four bikes down to my favorite brick wall backdrop, one after another -- I'm sure I confused some of my neighbors.

My latest find, an aluminum Kent Del Rio, now sort of BMX-ified:

Last year's "daily rider," an aluminum Fito Modena:

An early 90's Titan mountain bike, and one of the many Nishiki Alien clones, now with drop bars:

Hei to you have pictures how tide you make the gear selector?
 
I was riding my 1959 Schwinn Wasp 650b conversion.
I built it yesterday using some parts I had and a few from the LBS. (New wheels, new bottom bracket new tubes new chrome chain) I geared it a bit too high not taking into account the larger wheels. It's 46x16 now, think I'm going to try 46x18, maybe 19

Just got in from 12 mile ride on my '09 Schwinn single speed. A perfect 78F day. This was about 6 miles into the ride.
