Ye Olde Fatte Byke

A short but good ride yielded the following observations:

- Walking on the roads is way more slippery than riding on fat tires.

- I am glad this bike doubles as my mountain bike when I swap out the wheels. The few times I took out the mountain bike this summer has made me more comfortable.

- My back totally hurt before I went. Now it does not. Moving is good!

- I need a better solution to keep my feet warm. My legs, hands, head, etc. all felt warm. My toes got cold, despite liner socks, thick smartwool socks, and winter boots.

- You can really see the creek way better in the winter, and I pretty much love nothing more than an open creek winding through the snow.

- Snowy paths (although plowed better than our street) mean few pedestrians on the paths.

- It is quiet when it snows, even in the city.

- Goggles wouldn't be a bad thing when riding while it is snowing.
