In October 2011, I purchased my All City Nature Boy from The Hub bike shop for a cool $845. Every day since, I’ve been commuting on that bike rather than taking the bus, thus saving $2.25 per bus ride. I’m using those saved $ to pay off my bike. It’s May 23rd and here’s how much I currently owe.

Is a bike a good investment? I think so. No ice out there today, but I’ve still gotta say it; keep the bike underneath you.
It’s snowing right now, which means cold cranking is temporarily back on? It was 35 degrees F for the commute this morning with some harsh headwinds from the north. I sported my new NBC (never been crashed) Giro helmet that my pops hooked me up with this weekend. Fits like a glove…on my head. Thanks pops. Keep the bike underneath you.
Winter? 2012 is over and we uh…survived. We now welcome the warmth. Happy crankin and keep the bike underneath you.
Here’s what happens when you neglect to keep the bike underneath you. That midtown greenway was slick this morning. Ride safe.
Here’s a closer look at the hanging cables.
Commuter alert: The Sabo bridge is closed due to damage incurred sometime this AM. The highest of the suspension cables needed to support the bridge appear to have completely dislodged from the vertical support pilar and are now dangling from the sides of the bridge over Hiawatha Ave.
Broken cable on Sabo bridge has both the bridge and Hiawatha closed this morning.
Here’s a photo of a tag spotted on our commute route. Not a lot of winter biking news to report as of late, hence the infrequent posts. We’re still suffering from/enjoying the results of the continued Fall 2011 drought. No snow and very little ice on the roads right now. None the less, ride safe.
Temp today | 18 degrees F

Another amazing sunset.
Cold crankin just got a little colder. Layer up! Thanks for finally joining us, January.
