Greetings from Subzero

Minus 12 (that's Fahrenheit, son) so the bike's up on the stand for some service and mod. I ride a faithful steel 1993 Bridgestone MB5 for daily errands and cruising the town, many years as a single speed, recently re-upped to seven. For elsewhere, I pack a Dahon Speed Uno, currently mid-upgrade with IGH coaster brake to become a sweet Speed Trio. Slow and easy's my style: 58 gear inches +/-, with power straps.

Welcome to BF. We had -11 last night but we've warmed up to -7 now.

Again, welcome to the board.

Nice. Where might that be without earthquake, wildfire, hurricane, tornado, flood, endless rain, hellish heat, locusts!*, tux not coming back from the cleaners….?

Welcome

I have a 1990 Bridgestone MB2 that I’ve ridden lots and changed to 9 gears and drops recently. Great commuter bike? Welcome! Mc2
