Winter's Wear

I took some photos of the rubber tips I put on my KickBack for Rick over at Xtracycle. While doing so I got a good look at just what a mess things have become. My chain is full of rust, there's mud and sand all over my bike (despite an attempt at a night-time bath) after a run-in with a mud-bog-field at night. Sheesh! The winter has been very cold, very snowy, and very intense in general. I've hardly biked over the last several weeks due to single digit mornings, weird snow, and fierce wind chills. As I type now, wind speed is 37 mph from the NW. Zoiks! I'm looking forward to more bike friendly weather...
