Colleges are closed for Midwinter Recess and which means this weblog is simply too. Nevertheless, since 2024 is The Yr Of Paring Down, I’m making the most of the downtime to stock and assess my velocipedal holdings as they presently stand. So between Monday and Friday I’ll make a radical accounting of all my bicycles, not together with those belonging to different members of my fast household, or components and frames stuffed deep in a storage unit, which is to say it received’t be very thorough in any respect. Nonetheless, will probably be a roughly full image of all fully-assembled bicycles presently owned, operated, and recurrently ridden by me. It will enable me to find out whether or not or not I must proceed divesting or buying because the case could also be, and is solely for my very own edification. So whilst you’re welcome to learn and remark don’t count on to be entertained, although truthfully you shouldn’t expect that anyway.
See you again right here Monday, February twenty sixth.
I Love You,

Jones LWB
Use: “Mountain biking” (no matter which means), path rides, mixed-terrain rides, snow rides…
Wadrobe: Common garments or bikey garments
Miscellaneous notes: No bike I’ve is as concurrently snug and succesful because the Jones. If I wished to I might even add racks and fenders and make the Jones as sensible for around-town using because the Platypus–although once more, fortuitously I don’t must make that call and may have each. The Jones is the bike I select if I need to have the ability to journey on any sort of terrain with out limitation, and due to the upright place I don’t really feel like I must dress up in particular garments with a purpose to journey it, which is why I take it on trip with me. (I’ve ridden the Jones in bike garments with clipless pedals, and I’ve ridden it in jorts with flat pedals and sandals, and each approaches swimsuit it equally nicely.) Whereas I used to have a number of “mountain bikes” (no matter which means) I’ve come to understand the Jones is the one one I want, since I can journey it on any sort of path, and but I don’t should be on a path with a purpose to take pleasure in it, as a result of it feels good as quickly as I roll it out the entrance door. It additionally makes good use of recent stuff like tubeless tires, disc brakes, and single-ring wide-range clutch drivetrains while remaining a essentially easy bicycle due to the totally inflexible body.
