Jan is the planning month
Here we are with a new year on our hands, and by spring everyone should have had a virus shot, and we can ride anywhere again.
So Jan is planning month. Maybe get a new bike or------------decide what cleaning and repair your bike or trike needs for the new riding season. Order up the parts and have them on hand for Feb. Feb is the month all the cleaning and repair needs to be done. Even tho some of us are in the snow belt, a few days of March may be warm enough to ride. Be prepared. |

Good thing about So California, my bikes are always clean. No planning, no schedule to buy new parts, fix bikes, I'm always good. :D

But then I can buy a really nice 3 bedroom brick house with a two car garage to put my bike in, for $180,000.
Now, wood and stucco or fiberglass fascia are everywhere. |

This is of course wrong, very wrong. Please do not put more people at risk by making and executing big plans with large groups of people. Please also don't spread more misinformation about the vaccine it just isn't going to happen that fast and even if it did we would still not be safe yet. Look at history.
Though agree it is a good time to think about new bike or fixing plans for the year especially if you are looking custom which is probably damn near about all you can easily get these days and even they are struggling on the parts front. |
BikeMaine has already cancelled its September 2021 tour. Maybe the organizers know something the OP doesn’t.

this thread has inspired me to wash all four of my bikes and get that darned cork handlebar tape clean as new.
with the ocd, that'll take me as long as doing a completely new build likely would. |

In almost any state, and certainly in Nebraska, the roads are not covered with ice and snow all winter, and the temps are not always below freezing. There are plenty of good riding days even in January and February. But yeah, still clean/tune/upgrade your bikes in your heated garage while enjoying a drink and some tunes. :thumb:

Is it that common that people stop riding in autumn/winter? Based on your post I guess that riding season starts in March then? I always felt lazy for not taking the bike out when its below 10 degrees Celsius or when it's raining.... but since I live in the Netherlands, this means I can generally not cycle for three months. |
For me, winter is for planning all the rides I want to do through the year. Spinning on the trainer gets old pretty quickly.

At 82, many people would be looking back on all the cycling they've done. rydabent is looking forward to all the cycling he'll do.
Go 'Bent, GO! |
