Yesterday Feb 26 it was 81 in Lincoln Ne, so I went for a 20 mile bike ride. It was great to get out on the bike again.

Took me a couple of minutes to pump my tires after not riding the bike since October and then I was out the door.

You can divide the areas that need to be serviced, and finish them. You dont tear the whole bike down at once. So---------the bike is available most of the time.

Agreed. I spend most of my time during winter and early spring gym and treadmill. Now is the time to start building up base on the bike trainer for summer. And I don't ride in crappy or cold weather. My bike season starts around May usually and ends end of September. Fair weather rider I am only.
